Storyline

The film focuses on the global water shortage crisis, filmed over three years across multiple locations worldwide, visiting people on the front lines of water conservation. Zero Water Day was initiated and executive-produced by Tencent's Chief Exploration Officer David Wallerstein, directed by Emmy winner Kevin Sim, and co-produced by UK-based Keo Films and Iceland's OoS Pictures. 'Zero Water Day' refers to the day when water resources run dry. The film depicts the urgent water scarcity situation in various parts of the world, from the 2018 water crisis in Cape Town, South Africa, to the massive negative impact of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon on global water supply, and the alarming rate of water resource depletion caused by extensive agriculture in the US Midwest. The film interviews numerous international and regional water resource experts, ranchers, and park rangers, combining personal experiences with scientific data to reveal the neglected yet imminent global water crisis from multiple levels and perspectives, calling on global citizens, especially young people, to protect water resources. According to UN-Habitat data, one-fifth of the world's population lives in areas of severe water scarcity, and this proportion is expected to rise to one-quarter by 2050.
