Waterborne

Writer-director Ben Rekhi serves up a refreshing alternative to the big-budget disaster epic with this intimate psychological drama about the repercussions after terrorists poison the Los Angeles water supply. As public hysteria grows, a storeowner and her son raise the price of bottled water in their convenience store; two friends flee to the country and discover their relationship is also being tested; and a computer technician is mobilized by the National Guard to keep the peace. Winner of an Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival.
