Location: Mama Mochas Coffee Emporium

Documentary filmmakers David and Michael Hanson will present their new release, Who Owns Water, in a special Auburn University screening. The School of Communication and Journalism’s Media Studies program is partnering with the Office of Sustainability and Auburn for Water to host the event Tuesday, October 21 at 7:00 p.m. at Mama Mocha’s Coffee Emporium on Gay Street. The public is invited and admission is free. Three states--Alabama, Georgia, and Florida--are battling over the diminishing water of the Chattahoochee River that saw Atlanta go from a small town to one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Who’s in control? It depends on who you talk to. In this stunningly-shot, award-winning documentary film, Michael and David Hanson paddle the river from the Appalachian Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico meeting people and listening to their water-level perspective. All along their 542 mile journey, the brothers seek to answer the question, Who Owns Water?
