Questo mese, il pubblico può schermare Un Futuro Vivo (A Living Future) sulla rete Planet Classroom. Questo film è curato da Planet Classroom.
Directed by Natalie Sipes, Un Futuro Vivo explores the inspiring story of Adriana and her community in Nosara, Costa Rica, as they work together to provide clean drinking water through ASADA.
This short but powerful film shows the importance of water as a basic right and the resilience of communities united for change.
Il Global Ricerca per l'Educazione is pleased to welcome Natalie Sipes.
Natalie, what drew you to Adriana’s story and the water crisis in Nosara?
I was first informed of the water crisis by Dr. Kuban, my professor in the course in which I directed this film. While in Costa Rica, the more we talked with local residents, the more we heard Adriana’s name. It seemed like this town’s water crisis was resting on Adriana’s shoulders, and we knew we needed to hear her story.
How did you approach filming such a vital community project like ASADA?
Our group’s goal was to take an individualized approach to a large community project. We knew that if we heard the stories of people affected by this project, we would learn the ins and outs of what kept this project running. Each individual’s impact was extremely important in understanding how this community functioned.
What do you hope audiences will learn about the importance of water access from watching Un Futuro Vivo?
I hope that it will inspire gratefulness for something that so many people take for granted like potable water. By hearing about the intense work that some people must put in to achieve this luxury, I am hopeful people will want to improve their understanding of how people without potable water go to great lengths to obtain it. Questo, idealmente, will result in aid from those who are able.
Can you share any moments during filming that were particularly emotional or inspiring?
Each time we spoke with Adriana, my admiration for her grew. During one interview, she shared with us that she felt responsibility for an infectious outbreak at a local school as a result of unclean water. Seeing how much the kids’ sickness affected her personally, it made me realize how a gravely systemic problem has very individualized consequences.
Grazie, Natalie
