The film documents the struggle for water in Highland Park, Michigan. Over 45,000 homes in the Detroit area do not have water.

The Water Front was screened at Ecofest in Greece and won the "Water Award." This text accompanied the award:

"Water is not only an issue affecting poor countries. Everywhere in the world, people are facing a diversity of difficulties in accessing water. And the characters Liz Miller chooses to portray in her film are particularly strong, in their interesting way of facing up to the situation, reacting, gathering, getting involved and fighting together. Covering all water issues, from pricing to privatization and -- above all -- the human right to WATER, this film sends a strong message on the way public participation and action can overcome problems."

Contact Speakers for a New America for information on showing the film in your city.
