Full Plot Details

In La Source (pronounced lah-soos), Haiti water does not come easily. Each day, villagers of this small, rural community must choose between enduring a long, treacherous walk to retrieve clean water or drink contaminated water from a nearby river. For over 30 years, the villagers have attempted to address this problem by constructing a means of channeling the water from a natural spring in the mountains, but with limited funding and an unsupportive government their attempts to provide clean water were to no avail. Since he was a teenager, Josue Lajeunesse, along with his brother Chrismedonne have dreamt of remedying this problem for their people. In 1989, Josue moved from La Source to New Jersey where he found employment as a custodian at Princeton University. His custodial work and second job as a taxi driver, which total close to 20 hours a day, allows him to send money home to La Source so that he and Chrismedonne, a bricklayer in La Source, could properly channel the water from the mountain into their village. Our journey to La Source takes us on an adventure as the Lajeunesse Brothers work together to rally the support of a group of Princeton students, a Los Angeles-based charity called Generosity Water, and the people of La Source to fulfill their dream of improving the conditions of their impoverished village. La Source is not simply a movie about clean water and community transformation. It is a story of one man, empowered by a vision, who was able to ignite the passion of people thousands of miles away to change lives in La Source forever. Where water runs, life flows.

Paste Magazine - 8/10 by Scott WoldAlthough audiences may find themselves similarly frustrated by the film's reduction in scope, it nevertheless effectively focuses on the efforts of Josue Lajeunesse and his vision of building out the foundation laid by his father.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranAirbender, whether intentionally or not, is pegged almost exclusively to a small-fry state of mind.

User Review - 10/10 by Jamie PAmazing. Hands down one of the best docs I've seen in a while. Important story, gorgeous cinematography, and a team behind it who practices what they preach. I brought a friend to the premiere in NY and she was balling her eyes out the entire time. Go see it - it will rock your world I promise. Did I hype it up too much? Okay well just go see it.
User Review - 10/10 by Trey OA beautiful adventure of contrasting worlds connected by one person's dream and all those who believe. A visual splendor grounded by likable characters that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you humbled and inspired.
