Official Trailer
Not a film about water.
A human survival story.
“Every Living Thing is not a documentary about water. It is a human survival story about the most sacred, exploited, and politically charged element on Earth.”

I, the undersigned, call upon the United Nations to:
affirm that access to safe, clean water is an inalienable human right — not a tradeable commodity; enact binding legislation preventing the privatisation of water that prioritises profit over survival; and hold all governments and corporations accountable.
About the Film
Water is not just a resource.
It is the bloodstream of our planet.
The essence of every life form, and the thread connecting faith, science, and survival. Every Living Thing follows the story of water from ancient prophecy to modern commodification — and asks who pays the price when it becomes power.

The Science of Water
Water as mystery, biology, memory, and system — the element that makes life possible and now reveals the fragility of our future.

When water becomes power, communities pay in health, dignity, displacement, and survival.
