It may be easy to drink water, but according to the latest research, 95.3% of people do not have good water consumption habits—65.9% drink water only when thirsty, while only 4.7% regularly drink healthy amounts of water.

Rooftop Films: Time Machines, Tangerines & Electric Queens
Would you rather spend the summer cooped up indoors at some black box theater, or experience the latest indie films as the city unfurls beneath you? Stream low-res movies alone in your room, or watch film glowing on a giant screen with hundreds of new friends?
Well, Rooftop Films is offering you just that with its 19th annual Summer Series. We believe that your experience of a film should not be limited to merely watching a movie, so we curate unique events that combine great music, quality independent cinema, and some of the most beautiful locations that New York has to offer.
Documentary 303
The film tells the story of the most successful squadron of the Battle of Britain - the Polish 303 Kosciuszko Squadron - through the eyes of two veteran pilots of the Squadron: Franciszek Kornicki and Stanislaw Socha, as well as through the children of three spectacular aces of 303 Squadron: John Kent, the Canadian Flight commander, Witold Urbanowicz, the legendary Polish commander of 303, and Miroslaw Feric.
It is a story of personal courage against great odds when the fate of WW2 was at stake.It shows heroic men and their perseverance in living up to the Kosciuszko motto of fighting "for our freedom and yours". I believe that this story of men of the greatest generation conveys a universal message which viewers can identify with.
