Blue Gold

I was at home today as it was raining in Paris, Chicago and, sadly, not too warm in Miami. Wondering what to do with my existence, I stumbled over my Netflix's long "Instant Queue". One of the documentaries that I had decided to see was about Blue Gold: sweet water, in layman terms. It was entitled Blue Gold: World Water Wars.

If you think that "An Inconvenient Truth" is maybe scary, this one will seriously make you think and think and think - especially everytime you fill your glass to drink or open the tap to let water run, no matter how noble or superfluous the reason. To all those of you who thought that the Quantum of Solace was just a movie about Bond's vengeful personality and what he could do to an entire population, well think again - and try to see the movie again to remember what the "bad guys" were up to: buying an entire country's water supply. Fact, not fiction, it turns out...

This documentary was not only an eye opener for me, but also a well of ideas for a future project that I am yet to undertake. The pieces are falling together. I can already smell those blue ideas floating around in the back of my writer's mind.
