Guest – Irena Salina


My guest on today's show is Flow's director Irena Salina. She started her career at the age of 15 as a radio journalist in Paris. 

Her first feature length film  won Best Documentary at the  and the Presidents' Award at Mexico's prestigious 

The film, the brainchild of director Irena Salina, opened in September of 2008 and has helped to bring a greater awareness to many about the seriousness of these issues and the risks to mankind and the environment if we do not take action now to curtail present-day activities by corporations and governments that may threaten basic water rights for a large percentage of the world's population. The film has also helped bring a heretofore unheard of term into the public lexicon: Water Rights.

Wired Magazine referred to the documentary as the "scariest movie at the Sundance Film Festival" after its screening there in 2008.
