In the "Surprise guest" column of our newsletter we have invited extraordinary people from culture, politics, science, media and public life whose work, commitment and dedication can inspire others to create unforgettable stories and testimonies.

Our guest for October is Ewa Ewart, a Polish documentary filmmaker, who impresses audiences with her courage, cinematic inquisitiveness and journalistic responsibility. She goes to the ends of the earth, where others do not, to tell the story of people fighting for a better life, be it on the war front or in the daily struggle for a clean environment and a decent life. Her film "Until the last drop" is about the threat of water destruction and the determination and sacrifice of people for whom water is life.

Recently this film was awarded the Grand Prix at the Green Film Festival in Deauville, and also won the special Prince Rainier III prize at the Monte Carlo festival. The film will be shown at the EESC as part of a series of events dedicated to the Blue Deal. (ehp)
