Turning on the Faucet

Journalists, politicians, authors and newsmakers from around the world come together at the Crosscut Ideas Festival to take a hard look at the people, policy and events that shape our lives.

Turning on the Faucet

Season 2 Episode 5 | 26m 2s | CC

Most of us don't think about turning on the faucet or taking a shower. But more than one third of the world doesn't have access to safe or clean water. Matt Damon and Gary White think this is a problem with a solution and they set out to prove it. They worked with partners across the globe to deliver clean and/or sanitized water to more than 40 million people. Is it working? Can we help?
