For the next two days South Africa’s Constitutional Court (the equivalent of the Supreme Court) will hear “… the final appeal in a case brought by five Soweto residents challenging Johannesburg’s discriminatory prepaid water meter system. Their six-year legal battle would reaffirm the constitutional right to water for all South Africans.”
The short film above, Amanzi Ngawethu (Water Is Ours), is by Christina Hotz of Friction Films.
