The house was full at the famed Washington, DC establishment, Busboys and Poets, home to the tour sponsors, Food and Water Watch. Audiences enjoyed the screening of the film and afterwards there was a panel discussion, moderated by Jon Keeseker of Food & Water Watch, with film associate producer Curtis Smith and Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director of Food & Water Watch. Audience members were passionate. Several attendees stated the film brought to light how the lack of access to affordable water adversely impacts Americans. Others commented they were astonished that water privatization was occurring in the United States. Wenonah Hauter informed the audience that the Highland Park, Michigan story is a part of a larger global issue concerning water privatization and access to affordable water. Domestically, the Highland Park story is an example on need for a change in federal policy to increase the amount of investment in water infrastructure.

When asked by the audience what they could do after seeing Water Front, Wenonah Hauter responded that individuals could join Food & Water Watch to advocate, educate, communicate and organize to address salient water issues. (Curt Smith, March 26, 2009). Thanks to Jon for organizing such a great nigh!
