OUR BLUE WORLD: A WATER ODYSSEY 

Middle East Premier 

Join us for the free screening of an award-winning film that tells the compelling human story of water.*

* The film is free but entrance to the Guardian of Water Festival needs to be purchased (50 AED).

From the creators of the globally acclaimed documentary Brave Blue World, Our Blue World explores how human ingenuity, community spirit, and individual action can help rebalance our planet’s water systems.

Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, the film shares powerful stories of people whose lives have been transformed by water. It also reflects on ancient engineering marvels that sustained civilizations for thousands of years, while showcasing how modern societies are managing water—and what they can learn from their ancestors.

Neeson observes: “It’s incredible, they had it all figured out. We are just rediscovering the water wisdom of our ancestors.”

Executive Producer Paul O’Callaghan adds: “Our Earth is in trouble, and water is the vehicle through which the effects of climate change will be felt. Extreme droughts, floods, fires, loss of biodiversity, pollution, and global warming are on the rise. Our Blue World shows that with even small shifts in mindset and practice, we can drive enormous positive change—helping to restore balance and regenerate life on Earth. The greatest challenge we face in solving the global water crisis is getting people to truly value water.”

Produced by the Brave Blue World Foundation and Brave Blue World Studios, the film was made possible with the support of partners including the Water Environment Federation (WEF), Backus, Cusqueña, Procter & Gamble, Sciens Water, Grundfos, and WWF, with impact partners such as water.org, Imagine H2O, AB InBev, and Yokogawa.
