Water.org has helped change the lives of millions of people with access to safe water and sanitation in 17 countries around the world, giving families hope, health and the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
donated for a good cause💞
Thanks for sharing the water with us!
Why does the end of the video have to be 10 x louder than everything else?
Poverty is what creates wealth for the rich. For some to be rich - most have to be poor
@@sigitasp.3207 Indeed.
The only thing that separates us from a 3rd world country is our (shrinking) middle class, take that away, and what you have is a small minority of ultra rich Vs. everyone else in poverty.
No matter how brilliant this short was, this what climate change means, clean drinking water for all. This movie comes close to home.
I thought it was an actual commercial in the beginning. Wouldn’t be out of place with all the bottled water advertisement.
This is what is scary about our world.
So y'all know people in Florida swim in your spring water before it gets bottled up. 😂😂😂😂
All these sci-fi shorts are our real future. For some.
Agreed
What do you mean for some everyone will be affected
@@kellytrindles984 I think he they mean some will die before that future happens.
@@kellytrindles984 For those that do survive.
@@andifurdeutschland6106 It started long ago, and yes, it is now, and will be the future
Sounds like the ex-CEO of Nestle who says humans don’t have a human right to water 💦
Or as so many people think, a right to life.
Unfortunately having the right to something in this world/society doesn’t make it automatically granted.
I can only hope that during tough times like this, people can put money aside and have a heart for humanities survival. Trust that we’d need to come together for all to coexist on an Earth that provides everything we need. Why force people to pay for natural resources. A question for us all, before it’s too late. Love this story. Well done Dust.
Not going to happen, never has and never will.
Too many stand to lose profit.
As far as they're concerned compassion and human decency is for fools...poor fools.
The only way to get equality, or justice, or right to liv, is taking from them.
This dystopic future, is the already here for a lot of people.
The 'Elite' are not raised to think that way. A lust for power is all they pass down from generation to generation.
These Dust films just keep getting better. This was flawless. I loved it. Thank you!
Wow I was really into that. I didn’t want it to stop. Dammit. That was so good. I was into that like a full length movie.
It was full. Length is not the defining characteristic of great film.
The CEO guy was kinda scary. Even after helping the little people. I thought he was going to set him up.
I thought it was an ambiguous ending, the George character's face clearly showed that he didn't know to believe him or not either, and we don't actually know if the security really did let George go... It may have just been a way to get the guy who is clearly desperate calmly out of the room, it certainly didn't show any further communications with security to release him.
@@quitlife9279 The CEO probably did give the device away, as he is shown to be weary of the board of directors clamouring for more clout in the company he built, leading to him quitting. He has already quit the corporate game, his wife expresses her non-interest in their high-society lifestyle.
this was brilliant
If your a socialist who has never studied any history
This was stupid
@@guyver214 It's "you're" not "your". Study english grammar.
Any father would do the same. You just knew what his plan had to be when his daughter's health was made clear to the viewer. Took me a minute to determine what the trojan horse was for, it was used to schedule the maintenance call.
his security is reeeaaalllyyy sloooww
finally, one real movie, with a meaningful story, well produced. thanks.
Can't not think of Wall-e saying "Eeeeevaaaah".
Love WALL E 😀😀
Great story and very well done. People need to realize safe water is a matter of life or death, and that it's going to get worse without great efforts by us all.
Safe water should be readily accessible for all living beings-plants, animals, and humans. Thanks for your thoughtful comment and have a great Earth Day!
Agreed, it should start with trying to mitigate the pollution of our water supplies instead of polluting it even more with plastic water bottle waste. Thirty years ago no one would have been able to convince me the bottle water industry is as powerful as it is today.
Did you guys know that water is already being traded on the stock market? All the world's water resources will be owned by huge companies if it stays on this track.
And that plain water is more expensive the sodas... you don't need soda to live.
@@sumerandaccad Most glaciers are growing. Thought you may want to know that.
One of the very best Dust films ever. Please more from this creative team!
Holy shit, that was REALLY good! Extremely well done, fantastic production. Perfect actors/characters. This could well be a short series.
And father and daughter actually share a general look-a-like. That was a nice touch.
His emotions were spot on.. All people want success, whether for themselves or more often, for their families and humanity .. We see that today in the likes of Elon Musk.. : Working for the good of humanity, but losing sight of the real humanity as profits set in.
The confluence of good and ill is within ALL of us. Desmond is just a symptom of who we are if we can't see the future results of all of our actions. OR ignore them for just long enough for them to get ahead of us...
Semper Vigilantes..... always be vigilant!
Rich guy: Reverse Engineer? D'you have any idea how complex ‐
Poor guy: (proves his intellect by explaining rich guy's concept in order to show he's worthy of trying to survive 😣)
Edit: ok, the rich guy was surprisingly decent in the end. I take back all the bad thoughts I had about him.😑
I watch a lot of these shorts and very few of them have the look and feel of a full length feature film. But this one really does. Both look and storyline. I could have sat through ninety minutes of this easily. Bravo.
BRILLIANT. Happy Earth Day 🌎
OMG that's Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, the little girl cast from Modern Family SHOW, i have recognized her, she grown up waw... good job !! love this movie like always DUST, YOU ROCK... keep it up
Amazing, and totally relatable because I'm Egyptian, to us river Nile means life, civilization, stability, and safety.
We're even willing to go to war to protect it.
I liked this one. Good acting, good story.
Why didn’t Desmond just help the guy with the source code when he realized how close he was to solving this?? Desmond’s acting was not very good and lacked any emotion, but damn he can do yoga! Lol
"That's the difference between you and me" Shattering words. Turns out we can never truly predict another person's value, intentions and story. Acknowledging this, I can still state "That's the difference between you and I" 90% of the time.
It’s never about the money in the beginning.
Save water if you did not save water then you will be DUST 👍
Save lives to🙏
Amazing and deep story, thank you!
inshaAllah, our future will be better. Have faith in your Creator who is the most merciful and the most compassionate.
Everything about this was Beautiful 💙
Wow great movie
Finally a DUST movie that had a nice ending that could be understood.
Great concept delivered to a high standard. Felt cinematic, rich and atmospheric. The direction and story drew you in and kept hold until the end. Thought a couple of the performances were below par, but it didn't spoil what was a great piece of work.
Good one. We may be heading to this future.
Yes. I found out a few weeks ago that filthy rich people eagerly started buying big into water rights and sources.
There's no may about it.
Check back four, maybe five years ago, regarding the then CEO of _Nestle._
Basically, which is more important, a company's right to a local source of water, or the local people who live there?
@@billyandrew oh yea, I completely forgot about that. Scary stuff.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼
Everyone loves granny hugs.
Thank u granny, love u
@@Beruthiel45 hi, we don't know each other, but would you share a virtual big bear hug with me, please I really want one 🤗
Sorry if I made u feel creepy....
Im living for the dad's eye makeup.
DUST, you provide me with breathable atmosphere.
You bring childhood fantasy and imagination back to an over 50 old man.
You reignite the works of the foundation Science fiction writers when they struggled to be published.
Your works are a culmination of the technology predicted by those original seers of things to come.
You not only honor them with your works but greatly expand on it.
What a privilege it is for me to be subscribed here.
More power to you and may you continue to post this most astounding work from all the various sources.
This truly is the vision of the original fore folks, you do them incredibly proud and honorable service i believe.
Isaac and others would be astounded i think.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I remember drinking water from a stream up in the mountains in Montana.
So good and cold. In 1979.
Now I'd have to boil it. 😦
@@EugeneSeidel
Acid rain, pollutants settling into the rocks, etc.
@@billyandrew Yuk
What a *gorgeous* story and the actor who played the tech guy, incredible. Two thumbs up for this short!
I thought that this might have been a film adaption of that old book "EVA"....which was about the young girl that got in a car accident and her mind was transferred into a gorilla.
Great book!
@@watchdust I read it when I was 12
I thought it was about a depressed teenage boy with father issues and a techno-organic war machine created from two warring gods on Earth as a mother who's hounded by an egotistical German girl.
It really does take a while for the security to get there, doesn't it... the intruder could easily have killed everyone or messed up the whole place before they arrive. 🤪
I'm fairly sure he never notified security, Just used it as a scare tactic to find out the mans motives with out him trying run away or go for the weapon.
There's one even better solution. Hire that robber and let him have a team to build better or alternative EVA units.
Wait, this is an Evangelion reference video?!
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons played Lily on Modern Family.
I THOUGHT that was her
Thanks for confirming
EXCELLENT
Superb
This was genius, also the acting!
i struggled with other dust sci fi but this was great..
CLEAR Transparent 🌊
Damn. That was awesome. This should be a series
Bravo! Well Done! Really liked this!!!
Wonderful! What a great film!
Is she Lilly from Modern Family?
It's hard to admit that you're in fault even if deep inside you know that by heart. Heart was taken over by greed, ambition. Sad thing is that we're closing in to this very seen. Wish humanity gather around together, not judging, not alienating each other and have a seat on table called science where there is no race, gender, a winner but solution to what's upcoming.
18 min to say Flint still has no potable water. You've just wasted 18 min of my life.
Most of the US has water unfit for human consumption, which msn is reluctant to cover, nowadays.
Many states, in fact, have higher levels of contamination than Flint.
Ive watched a lot of shorts and ngl this wasnt the best acted but the story was nice
Films like this is why I subscribe to Dust.
Amazing story telling. I love the characters and the plot, the sets, the music and Everything. As a film composer I would love to be a part of a project like the Dust SCI-FI shorts. If anything this is a great resume to anyone out there who would want to take this into a 2 hour movie. If love to see more back stories about EVA. Watching this did feel like a full length movie. Its so captivating!
Bravo!
*Take notes Hollywood!* - stop stifling the creative writers and story teller and creative people. Because DUST will show them how its really done..
Excellent! This would be one hell of series based on The two common needs of life, Air & Water, and their shortage and value in day to day life. Dam good story line, and solid too. Would love to see more.
_Wally has left the chat_
A CEO with a conscience? Sci-fi indeed.
What’s up Broski 🦋®️🦋
Wow, that was amazing to me, so thoughtful, and I also wish there was more to see!
One of if not the best short films ever. Hopefully in the future, the wealthy will be compassionate and will remember they once had a past. And those born into privilege will have understanding and empathy for the less fortunate.
The wealthy being compassionate?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You obviously love fiction.
Smh.
whoever decided to do that with the title sequence, you are one crafty individual my friend.
Excellent drama. A fantasy to think that a corporate oligarch might have compassion for others.
_Nestle's_ last CEO proves that point.
Why isn’t this a real series?! This was AWESOME!
Desmond could have just given George a thumb drive with the source code. Save everyone a lot of trouble. Plus Desmond would have been able to keep his Eva Beta.
No. He is still in a company. Under a new boss. He saw on George he can finish the work. He can lose/give his own property but not the company secret. He faced the reality at least but still had a corporate mind.
Clear vision of the future
those who can adapt will survive.
99.9% of the human race can't adapt to be able to drink polluted water, as the liver and kidneys fail within a short period of time.
Those that don't have found different methods to filter the water, but even those means only extend life for a while, as they also take their toll on the body.
God I love these short stories. Staying home after my second Covid shot. I feel really cold and aching but it’s not that horrible. It gives me an excuse to watch these. But also I don’t want to move, it hurts
Congrats on the vaccination! Stay hydrated and watch as much Sci-Fi as you please.
Stay the course. II shot for some weird reason hurts because I think that's the one that packs the punch., the first one was to get your body ready for what comes next . you may feel sore and out of sorts for a few days but trust me it beats the alternative all to hell. I know this for a fact because I've had both shots. All it took to convince me that I needed to do it was having four of my close friends lose their lives to covid 19. Stay strong you will get through this just as I did.
@@watchdust Thank you! And thank you for the reminder. I need blood work done next because I’m always dehydrated and I drink more water than anyone I know. I just filter the water and sometimes I drink it faster than can be filtered. Water is the absolute most important thing to me. Unfortunately as a property manager water also causes damage. But that’s just nature or improper buildings
@@arnoldsherrill6305 Thank you. I always planned to get the vaccine. My adult daughter won’t. I hope you don’t mind if I share this comment. I’m so sorry that must be devastating. Between that and being surrounded by racists in Florida puts me in a bad mood. When I got my second shot the white woman behind me got into a black woman’s face. I just glared at her because there were fire fighters there to help. Then I went to a community I manage. I can’t even repeat their disgusting comments
@@arnoldsherrill6305
Complete and utter nonsense.
Please, research the subject and don't pass misinformation!
There is *no* preparing the body with a first shot, as the vaccine is contained within, while the second shot is a booster!
I don't believe, for one single second you lost four close friends.
Had such happened you'd have been suspected of being a typhoid Mary and treated as such.
And *that* I know from personal experience!
You make no mention of this, because you never thought beyond trying to impress in order to bolster your view.
There is nothing wrong, absolutely nothing, in supporting vaccination, but adding such a totally unnecessary and blatant lie is both ridiculously juvenile and counterproductive, as anyone with an ounce of sense could see right through the lie.
It would be funny, if nobody had ever actually died from the virus, but makes a mockery of those that have!
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You're like those morons that falsely claim to have served in the miltary!
The lie always catches up with you.
Smh.
Wow, I just watched an entire 2 hour blockbuster movie.... Nope, just 18.29 😎
Happy Earth 🌎 Day ❣️
Another great sci-fi movie short. At the end of watching this I felt a little thirsty. An excellent way of showing how water, something we easily take for granted because it's so readily available, can become more than just a valuable commodity. Clean water can be the difference between life and death, good health or poor health.
Nice production value, and nice story concept. However, using "water scarcity" as the plot motive is a problem - distilling water is about the simplest process there is (at least it was when I went to school, we learned how to do it in 8th grade). I think "air pollution" would have been a better choice.
DUST: "In a future where climate change and pollution have caused humanity to adapt"
Me: Sounds somewhat familiar. Does it have something to do with a depressed boy with daddy issues? Are giant techno-organic war machines involved? Are the oceans orange or blood red? If yes to any of the questions, then oh boy is a water filtration device the least of your concerns...
This story gives a glimpse of what your future holds. The alkaline water bubble that is being raised today is going to become a big monster in the future and swallow humanity.
This story gives a glimpse of what your future holds. The alkaline water bubble that is being raised today is going to become a big monster in the future and will swallow humanity. Thanks DUST
I like that!
This was just awesome, well done, absolutely loved it.
My sincere apologies for my previous comment. It seemed to upset some people. I'll try not to make any more comments on how great these films are.
Dust, can you get rid of the loud subscribe message at the end, and let the credits roll normally? Pretty disrespectful to make those changes.
According to our criminal vice president, we will be fighting wars over water soon. She has a rosy outlook, no?
A very telling, and relevant, story. Well made and very slick in the production, believable characters all went together very well indeed. The scariest thing about it is the fact that world population growth, demand and production will continue to strain ALL resources. The world's BIGGEST corporations need to get behind sustainability before it's too late.
"They believe they own all the air and water".. Welcome to Planet Nestle, where water isn't a human right..
Is That Lily from Modern Family!? Damn she grown
Kinda rings in with earth day..🌍that teenager slagging off the W.H.O... the survivor of the disaster in russia...is now using the waves 🌊of the polluted sea to produce power...looks to me that every human being has to make a change...no matter how insignificant to reduce waste and pollution... 😲oh by the way thx Dust..🥰
It's worth knowing that there are some Christian Missionary groups that make their primary goal to go through arid parts of Africa and drill local Wells for people to get free water. They bring all the equipment with them.
Outstanding..The technological have and have nots..we are getting there quickly..
And that's Capitalism my friends in a nutshell...
Yup, only thing worse is communism.
Under the Obama administration our illustrious leader sold a lake to the Chinese. China is a user country. The CCP believes that ALL countries on ANY continent owe China their land, water, food and people, ideas and accomplishments. Communism or capitalism, which is to your liking?
More propaganda from DUST
In the face of all craziness, greed, and bad things in this world... Individuals and the choices they make will always have the power to change things.
Excellent short film.
By the way, during World War 1, the children Across the Nation were gathering Walnut shells and milkweed silk to sell to scrap dealers for the government. The Walnut shells for carbonized and made into filters for gas masks. The milkweed silk, otherwise known as kapok was used to make flotation vests, otherwise known as May Wests.
From what I understand, walnut shell is still among the best sources for the type of charcoal for the most efficient filters.
Look up how to make charcoal. Also, look for a nice source for black walnut. It's okay if the squirrels eat the nuts out of the shells...
Very enjoyable. I really liked the story. Very well done.
"AQI 151"
This is fine.
Here in the U.S., as well as other well developed parts of the world, many people take abundant, clean, safe, drinkable water for granted. Having lived outside the U.S. for a decade in less developed areas, clean, safe water has sometimes been almost a luxury. I've been poisoned by bad water more times than I can count. Water on our planet as abundant as it seems, is a precious resource, both vital and finite.
It is ok... even if the science is crap and other things are crap. The man has controlling shares. He should be able to fire the managers. Even if not, why give them away. Create a competitor. And the whole idea of a vital artifact being created by a single human (or reverse-engineered) makes few sense today. Also the trojan virus was simply funny, showing itself in the name even to the receivers :D . But hey, it is good in feelings and message.
The EVA guy's motivations were inconsistent, he was both the proud, 'I built this' businessman AND the bleeding heart socialist ?
A more realistic motivation would have been him giving over the device to screw over the board which just ousted him
Excellent. And the plot timing is pure justice. The board has gone mercenary, he's losing his company and they are losing their monopoly.
And Frey now has plausible deniability when the board accuses him of open-sourcing the design. George might eventually be locked up, but his daughter is saved & the design for EVA is now public domain irrevocably.
" What was your daughter's name? " ....very well written and performed.
More depressing nonsense from a world that seems physically incapable of giving us something uplifting and positive!😢
The promise of clean water & breathable air is a fundamental human right???? What??? Lmao. Where the hell is that written?!? 😂
