About Water, People and Yellow Cans tells the story of one of the elements – water and its significance to human existence in three different parts of the world. A gripping tale of daily struggle and survival. In spite of water. Without water. With water. From the floods in the Bangladeshi Brahmaputra delta via the fishing port and harbour town of Aralsk on the Aral Sea to the daily battle for clean water in Nairobi’s biggest slum. About Water, People and Yellow Cans is a documentary Lehrstück about a major theme: It’s an insistent attempt to throw some questions, doubts and ideas at our views on water, which most of us take for granted and hardly ever challenge.
