WORLDWIDE WATER CRISIS IN SEPTEMBER BY PREMIERING
FOUR INTERNATIONAL FILMS ON WATER DURING
MONDAY"PRIMETIME PREMIERES" LINEUP

On Monday, Sept. 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, DOC premieres "The Water Project: Bahrain," a documentary produced by Omar Salman Al Slaise which examines the shortage of natural water resources in the Kingdom of Bahrain caused by overdevelopment and dredging. By delving into the past, the prominent history of the Kingdom is presented as a land of two seas resulting in an abundance of natural water resources. Now called the land with no beach, the present day water shortage in Bahrain is strikingly apparent. The cost, obstacles and debates over how to solve this shortage are explored by interviewing water plant workers and everyday Bahrainis.
