    No inspiration only propaganda

    While most of what was presented in this documentary is true the way they did it reminded me of old school propaganda videos I'm not sure if this documentary had a proper script or not what we got is a rant by that swedish girl who cried about stuff without any life experience, what is true is parts of the world are growing and drinking water will become much more expensive that's nothing new this documentaries author has nothing more than it's your fault, I recently watched another documentary called river about water and that one was both aye opening and good avoid this political propaganda.

    Mandatory watch even though it's hopeless.

    I kept postponing watching this documentary as I wasn't in a good mindset to watch something that you know beforehand it will make you sad. Day Zero should be a mandatory watch to the whole world, maybe to open some eyes in the hope we would wake up and revolt, but when I see that half of the reviews on here are from people that calls this rubbish or propaganda then you know enough, you know we're doomed. Day Zero is an eye opener, well mine were already open for a long time but still. A well made and narrated documentary where you can learn interesting things from, like the underground reservoirs that seemed endless but certainly aren't, the need for meat that is actually the main cause for the coming catastrophe, the unwillingness from people that are supposed to rule us and thus also protect to change anything about Day Zero, the day that is fast approaching. I must think of Bolsonaro in Brazil, you know the far right wing former president, whos goal it was to destroy the rain forest, the lungs of our beloved planet, just to make more profits for multi-nationals. Humanity is going to hit a brick wall, at full force, and it's unstoppable, certainly not with the narrow minded people we have here, that seem to have the IQ of an amobea. I don't have kids, I'm vegan, I try to be self sufficient, so yes I try, but it's a lost battle and to be honest I will probably watch this doomsday scenario from a retiring home, like an apocalyptic movie. Glad I have no kids.

    What will you do if you knew what I know?

    A harrowing look at the impeding doom. The documentary itself of course covers the topic that should be one of the foremost agenda for world govts across the globe. And it does good job at conveying the message too. Wish more people wake up to where we are heading instead of living without any sort of farsightedness.

    This is a real eyeopener for Humanity!

    But I doubt if we Humans will take it seriously, the Water shortages continue to get worse yet people are quadrupling the World population and remain in denial, even though there are all these shortages of land and water the Human population continues to explode, Humanity is moving towards the edge of the Cliff, we have gone to far in one direction to go back, the best we can hope for is a large rock hitting Earth and starting over, we are a failed species on Earth, we deluded ourselves into thinking we were the most Intelligent Species on the Planet, This is not intelligence at work. During the commercial breaks I couldn't believe some of the Commercials they allowed, one Woman had 8 children and was in labor with her 9th baby, this does not make sense to run a commercial during Day Zero when the Earth is massively overpopulated with Humans and Water and Land is disappearing at a rapid rate, 80% of the Land is being used by Humans in Africa to grow food, that leaves no room for Africa's Animals, plus we are destroying plant species at the same rate, I could talk to people about it but their more interested in going shopping at Kohls or wherever, people want to stay in denial, it's easier and softer!

    Good lord...

    Yet another "documentary" for weak minds. The world has been "running out" of oil, food, room, energy. (insert resource here) for the past century. These films are made for that portion of the population that hates their own humanity. These simpletons want population control and a return to pre-industrial times.

    Here's a term you've probably never heard from the Western DNC controlled media..."saltwater greenhouses". It's exactly what it sounds like, salty ocean water is pumped into greenhouses to grow fruits and vegetables AND produce fresh water. It happens to work best in places like Africa where you have ocean and desert side by side. Research it, you'll be amazed what you're not being told...
