The University of Miami School of Communication’s Knight Center for International Media announced on World Water Day, March 22, their partnership with Independent Television Service International (ITVS), to support water crisis-related film projects in five countries. Funded by the Knight Foundation, this collaboration will support public broadcasts of film projects in India, Indonesia, South Africa, Bahrain and Colombia.
Sanjeev Chatterjee, Executive Director of the Knight Center for International Media and Writer, Co-Director and Producer of One Water, a global film about earth’s changing relationship to water, said “this partnership fosters the creation of films that will address this global issue in different parts of the world. We hope that our film, One Water, will cause a ripple effect throughout the environmental film community by bringing attention to the topic and motivate change.”
