At the exhibition ECOTECH-2017 guests and participants could see the unique film "Baikal is the heart of the world". It was presented by General Producer Igor Dobrovolsky on December 13th at the stand of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia. For the general public, the premiere will take place only in the autumn of 2018.
Igor Dobrovolsky draws world attention to the most important problem, which is 100% related to the environment, the problem of the need to preserve drinking water. The importance of the most valuable resource on the planet, more valuable than gas and oil, is best felt when there is no opportunity to quench your thirst. That is why the great lake Baikal stands in the center of history as a symbol of pure drinking water and the life of future generations in happiness and harmony. This film is about our planet, about Lake Baikal, about drinking water and about each of us. It can not leave any spectator indifferent.

The full-length film "Baikal is the heart of the world" was created for family viewing. His genre is defined as a spectacular documentary-game. The task of the creators of the film is to attract the attention of the Russian and world viewers to the problem of preserving fresh drinking water not only at Lake Baikal, but also other reservoirs and sources around the globe. As you know, its reserves are rapidly declining.
Baikal contains 1/5 of the volume of all drinking water on the planet, about 24 trillion liters.
