Watermark est un documentaire qui nous entraîne aux quatre coins du monde afin d’explorer notre relation avec la ressource la plus importante de la planète : l’eau. À travers différentes histoires et de multiples paysages somptueux, le documentaire évoque de manière inédite l’empreinte de l’eau sur la planète. Il met l’accent sur l’impact négatif de l’homme, qui, en « maltraitant » ce bien fondamental, hypothèque de manière irréversible le futur de nos enfants et de l’humanité toute entière.
