Without water, there is no life.<\/strong> Still, people fight over it, sell it at a high price or fear it. Our fifth focus topic follows water from Chile to the North Atlantic.<\/p>\n

In Chile, a village fights against the privatisation of its water. In Memmingen, a dispute breaks out over who is allowed into the town stream on fishing day. The ferry MS Norr\u00f6na crosses the North Atlantic, and Iceland shows how water shapes an entire culture.<\/p>\n

One story asks how mineral water becomes a luxury product. Another tells of women who go to the swimming pool in a burkini \u2013 and carry the weight of other people\u2019s stares.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
