Countdown to Copenhagen

In December 2009, leaders from across the world will meet in Copenhagen to establish a new climate protocol to succeed the famous Kyoto protocol (which the U.S. never signed). The outcome of this meeting will likely define the international stance on climate change and global warming for the coming decades. Not to get ahead of ourselves this year . . . but we at TERRA think this is the most important approaching environmental milestone of 2009 and the foundation for earnest change is already beginning. So, with this global spirit in mind, let's kick off the new year with some great environmental films and a newly-announced collaboration with the United Nations to continue bringing you fresh content from around the world. Don't change that dial! We've got an amazing slate of films for you in 2009 . . . a year that will be remembered for new beginnings based on sustainable values.

'The Water Carriers' is the story of Callie Blackwood, an American engineering student, and Nina Omwereme Oyamo, a 23-year old woman from the Shirali region of southwestern Kenya. The lives of these two women, from altogether different circumstances, intersect as Callie travels to Kenya along with an organization known as Engineers Without Borders. Their mission: to install an aquifer-driven well in the hopes of delivering clean drinking water to the Shirali area. This is the first episode in the three-part series. Stay tuned as the relationship between Callie and Nina continues to strengthen . . . and experience a day-in-the-life of a Kenyan water carrier.
