Dear Videonews Subscribers,

Stories about Muslims and Catholics working together to improve their =
communities are needed now, as many pundits continue to spew ideas about =

traditions. THE WATER BEARER documents one such story in a gentle and =
beautiful way.

democratic and egalitarian community, as well as a sustainable economy.=20

Gilles Raymond is the water bearer. He is working with the islanders to =
develop running water systems, one village at a time. A collaboration =
transcends religion and money, it has contributed to the development of =
a direct democracy. This beautiful film lets the islanders tell their =
stories, in their own words, to become an open look at how results can =
be achieved through generosity.=20
