“Easily on track for a deserved Oscar Nomination. Necessary viewing for anyone on the planet who drinks water.” – INDIEWIRE

From the team that brought you An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for “Superman” and Food Inc., Last Call at the Oasis is a call-to-arms cry on the issues surrounding the world water supply. Jessica Yu, the Oscar award-winning director of Breathing Lessons, utilizes startling facts and amazing testimonials from renowned experts and activists to paint a frightening web of imminent dangers threatening our water supply. Issues ranging from climate change and water depletion to toxic pollutants and animal mutations give rise to the urgent need to take action before our most valued natural commodity literarily dries up. -Robin Smith, Hot Docs
