L'Or bleu

The water problem in Marrakech goes to the heart of what defines the question of Moroccan economic development. Drought, mass tourism, globalisation... have forced the city to privatise its water management at a time when France, a forerunner in water privatisation, is progressively turning back to a publicly run water management system. "L’Or Bleu" investigates a new empire: water.
