Discussing the film "La Source"

Nov 24, 2015

Panel discusses the film La Source (2012). As Los Angeles dips into a time of water scarcity, the Hammer screens this documentary about a village in Haiti where obtaining safe drinking water has never been easy. Josue Lajeunesse, the Princeton University custodian who is the compelling narrative's core, returns to Haiti to channel a consistent, clean water source to his village. Determination drives what the Washington Post dubs an "artfully shot documentary." Hammer and the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability (IoES) explore the most pressing issues surrounding the current and future state of water in our series The Next Wave.
