Podcast Classics: Marlon Brando highlights 'life & death' value of fresh flowing water
Intro:
It’s World Water Day, and we’re bringing you a double-bill for this edition of our Podcast Classics series, kicking off with the legendary actor, Marlon Brando.
In 1956, the Oscar-winning star of On the Waterfront, became UN Radio’s front man on water; narrating the story of how the UN Technical Assistance Administration brought a “pure, sweet, flowing” supply to one Bolivian village.
As the International Decade for Action on water for sustainable development gets under way here at the UN, we also look back at the 1950s struggle to provide access to clean running water in El Salvador.
You’ll find these stories, along with dozens of other unique and unusual radio stories, in our Audiovisual Library archive, at unmultimedia.org/avlibrary.
