The Cup for a Cup Initiative
In North America, clean, accessible drinking water is often taken for granted. At restaurants, water is typically served even before ordering, whether you plan on drinking it or not. However, in many parts of the world, clean drinking water is rare and not widely accessible, leading to widespread illness in communities.
To address this critical issue, the Old Spaghetti Factory in Toronto has partnered with Safe Water Social Ventures. Together, they are funding the distribution of clean water filters to communities in Uganda.
This documentary explores the motivations behind the Old Spaghetti Factory's involvement, detail the workings of the program, and present diverse perspectives on its impact.
I worked on this project as Director and Editor, alongside Anna Maria Li as DOP and Andre Santos as Grip.
