Our water is sick:
Chemicals and pharmaceutical residues impair its quality. But healthy water is not only clean, it's also alive. Water revitalization devices are therefore being used with astonishing success in many places – by farmers in Texas, bakers on the Rhine, vegetable growers on the Rhône, and therapeutic showerheads in Switzerland. Even sewage treatment plants are looking for alternatives to chemical purification methods.

But science is only hesitantly approaching a new technology that attempts to harness previously unexplained water phenomena. A bitter debate has raged for many years. The film shows researchers attempting to heal water, but maintains a critical distance from esoteric attempts at explanation. A new, fascinating look at our everyday water.

Film by Franz Fitze, TV: ZDF/arte (2005), 43 min.
