Below are links to a trailer of The Water Carriers, an award-winning documentary film produced by Partnership Productions and directed by Jaime Jelenchick, an MFA candidate in Montana State University's Science and Natural History Filmmaking program and a member of EWB at MSU.

The Water Carriers is the story of Callie Blackwood, an American engineering student, and Nina Omwerema Oyamo, a 23-year old woman from the Shirali region of southwestern Kenya. The lives of these two women, from altogether different circumstances, intersect as Callie travels to Kenya as a member of Engineers Without Borders at Montana State University. Their mission: to install an aquifer-driven well in the hopes of delivering clean drinking water to over 1,000 school children and community members.
