UBC alumnus brings community leaders into global safe drinking water conversation with new film

What works effectively for long-term success in safe drinking water? Community participation. That's the No. 1 thing it takes, UBC alumnus Karl Zimmermann found in making his documentary,"Water, Together." It premiered in August at the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition. His aim is to share the film's messages from community leaders around the world—talking in their own voices and own languages—with global policy makers and non-profits involved in UN Sustainable Development Goal #6 (water sanitization and hygiene) initiatives.
