The central idea behind the project was the making of a documentary that would spark the creation of further media on the subject of water around the world.

Toward this goal, a partnership with San Francisco-based Independent Television Service (ITVS) would create four nationally broadcast films on water in four countries (Bahrain, Colombia, India and South Africa).
