2469 While the images are obviously dated, the concepts presented in this film are still valid today. With the growth in population and increased use of water since the film was produced it has become even more essential to life.

I am not too sure of whether his films are comprised from other stock footage or there's a film crew that shot all of this. Nevertheless, this is all edited together, and Mr Kieran fumbles through the dialogue. it was cute the first couple of films, but now it's on the irritating side. Let's hear it for our little friends!

Without this knowledge, you wouldn't think much of his narration. The photography was okay, nothing speical. It would have been better in color. In general, I would call this documentary mediocre.
