How far would you go for drinkable water? For some, getting access to clean water is simply a matter of turning a faucet and watching the liquid flow. In Yuncaypata, Peru, families fight a daily battle to purify water from their community's main source, a reservoir that collects muddy, contaminated water from a nearby mountain stream.

This short film follows women in the community on their daily struggle to keep their families healthy and to advocate for long-term solutions from their local government—even when it means traveling many miles to make their voices heard.
