This is the story of Water.  It is a story of life and death. It is a story of rich and poor. It is a story of beauty, despair, crisis, and hope.

The story of water is told with the help of Global personalities Mikhail Gorbachev, Kofi Annan, The Dalai Lama, President Jimmy Carter, Shimon Peres, Queen Noor of Jordan, Ted Danson and Isabel Allende. Their combined insights are the guiding lines for the stories in each episode.

Each episode in this six part series covers an important, global theme concerning fresh water: the spirit of water, pollution, water and industry, water and agriculture, the price of water, and water and war.

To illustrate these themes film crews have filmed stories in over 30 countries including: India, Jordan, Mexico, Australia, Gemini, The United States of America, Italy, Namibia, Indonesia, The Netherlands, South-Africa, Spain, Chili, Japan, England, Israel, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Egypt, China, Botswana, Cyprus, France, Ukraine.

Aired on PBS "Water - The Drop of Life" is an extraordinary television series about a subject that touches virtually everybody on the planet.
