A South African non-profit organisation is about to make history as the first organisation of its kind to co-direct a water scarcity documentary with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
Speaking at a water leadership stakeholder lunch held in Cape Town last week UNESCO scientist and documentary director, Dr Pablo Garcia-Chevesich formally invited Shelley Humphreys Executive Director of the SOSNPO to be involved in the directing of the documentary, “Waterwise: How not to drain a country”, which is intended to be aired on Netflix next year. Commenting on the achievement Humphreys says the organisation is totally overwhelmed by the opportunity to be involved in the project with UNESCO. “Each and every individual has a role to play in achieving a water-secure future, and this documentary is going to go a long way in educating people around the world on the scale of the crisis.”What else to read
