- This semi scripted documentary hosted by Gokhan Ozoguz revolves around the issue of water crisis. In a near future, Istanbul will be on the verge of a water crisis, and if the people of 2019 refuse to change their habits, that future is very dark.
- Planet Earth is in the brink of facing an existential crisis as its resources are diminishing due to the human activities along with the effects of the climate change. World's fresh water resources are no exception here. Even though 70 percent of our planet is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. Considering the steady decline in the resources that the people have access to, if we do not start to take major actions, the world will face significant water stress in the near future. National Geographic's semi-scripted one-hour special documentary explores Turkey and Istanbul's use of its fresh water resources, focusing on every individual's contribution for the potential solution... on two different timelines. Gökhan Ozoguz, one of the biggest rock stars in Turkey, sets out to a journey to explore Istanbul's resources and the potential risks ahead through experts and real human stories. Unsettled by the possibility of Cape Town citizens having to live with 25 liters of water per day if the Day Zero hits, Gökhan tries to imitate that in his home only to see it's almost impossible to achieve that keeping the same life quality as he has now. Then he goes back to the field to learn about the potential solutions to avoid a dreadful and a dark future, where the everyday life is hit by a major water crisis. On a parallel edit, the documentary envisions an alternate future in a scripted story, which displays how the life could be if we did not start to change the way we consume water today. The main objective of 25 Liters is to create awareness in the community about the looming threat, and inspire people to take actions now.
