| Abstract | The Ndichu family live in a small village in Kenya. Like most families in the countryside, they don't have running water. Sisters Margaret and Ruth have to walk to the local river three times a day to fetch enough water for the family to use. The water is full of chemicals from the surrounding cash crop farms and pollution from sewage, but it's the only water they can get. In a school in London, a Year 9 class are learning about water and are instructed to carry buckets of water round the playground. They're exhausted after just a few minutes, and empathise with the sisters in the film and the situation the family are in. They re spurred on to find out more about the complex issue of water, and the politics of water management and distribution world wide. |
