NANCY TALLMAN 435.901.0659 nancy.tallman@sothebysrealty.com insideparkcityrealestate.com Water is of the essence in Jessica Yu's 2011 documentary, "Last Call at the Oasis." The Park City Film Series and Recycle Utah will screen the film on Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Jim Santy Auditorium. The screening is part of the Reel Community Series screenings and is underwritten by the Park City Community Foundation. Film Series and Recycle Utah team up for screening By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Recycle Utah, a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste in Summit County, will team up with the Park City Film Series to present a free screening of Jessica Yu's 2011 documentary, "Last Call at the Oasis." The film examines the global water crises and will be screened on Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Jim Santy Auditorium. The screening, part of the Reel Community Series, is underwritten by the Park City Community Foundation. Insa Riepen, executive director of Recycle Utah, likes the documentary because Academy Award-winning filmmaker Yu pulls no punches. "It shows data about water contamination and misuse that should be disquieting to us," Riepen told The Park Record. "In fact, one of the quotes from the film is ‘We're screwed.'" Yu was inspired by the water conservation-themed book "The Ripple Effect," by Alex Prud'homme, and investigated the global water shortages due to climate change, pollution and misuse. She interviewed activist Erin Brockovich, water experts Jay Famiglietti and Peter Gleick, Riepen said. "[The film] is entertaining, but it is somewhat sobering," she said. "It leads us to think that there may be a catastrophic water shortage coming at some point." Unfortunately, many people don't understand that there is a global water crisis. "We take water for granted," Riepen said. "Every day we need it and we tend to forget that we are made out of water. If we don't drink it, there will be none of us. "So I think it's exciting that Jessica Yu made a film about this," she said. "It deals with the pollution aspect, but also the commercial end of it - the bottling and selling of water - where the plastic water bottles become another concern and problem." Like many documentaries, "Last Call at the Oasis" highlights the "woes" of water shortages, Riepen said. "It doesn't sugarcoat the topic, but it also gives us a list of what we can do about the issue," she said. "It tells us that we all can have a hand in finding resolutions." Some of these ideas are simple.
