Rivers of Fire 1990

 

Directed by: Paul Woolwich

 

Synopsis: This film highlights the little-known Middle Eastern conflict over a natural resource more valuable than oil--water. The views of all the countries involved are reflected in this fascinating tapestry. The interrelationships of basic need versus limited supply and increased use, with the inflammable political environment, equal a potentially volatile situation. Describes how Turkey and Israel currently control access in the region, and the effect of this on other countries--Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Iran
