Tracing the water in Troas concentrates on the water crisis in the Mount Ida region. The main focus of the documentary is to reflect the difficulty of accessing water for the local people living in the drought-threatened area due to energy projects and mining activities. On the other hand, it also brings up the issue of climate crisis and water justice, which is going to be the biggest problem of our near future.
