ImJi - kyu quenches his thirst with a liter of clean water from the water supply.ForImJi - kyu "water is life”.
The video describes gestures of daily life: breakfast, commuting, school, work. For each action, the differences between the two main characters are as clear as ImJi–kyu’sclean water. The video was produced by KFHI, a Korean non-governmental organization committed to supporting the community who are in serious distress especially for water. According to the France Presse Agency.
The non-purified water is a serious problem throughout the Asian-Pacific region. Currently about two-thirds of the people in the area do not have reliable access to a hydraulic system for the provision of clean water.
