SlingShot is a 2014 documentary film that showcases the work of inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen. Kamen is best known for his invention of the Segway, but he is also the inventor of a machine that could solve the world's water crisis. The film takes the viewer on a journey through Kamen's life, highlighting his passion for innovation and his development of the SlingShot, a water purification system that can turn any type of dirty water into clean, drinkable water using a vapor compression distillation process.

The film follows Kamen as he works to deliver the SlingShot to the people who need it most: those living in some of the most water-scarce regions of the world. From rural villages in Ghana to disaster-stricken areas of Haiti, Kamen and his team work tirelessly to bring this life-saving technology to those who desperately need it.

Along the way, the film explores the challenges Kamen faces in his quest to provide access to clean water. From bureaucratic red tape to logistical challenges, Kamen and his team encounter roadblocks at every turn. However, their determination and commitment to the cause never waver.

The film also shows the positive impact that the SlingShot can have on communities. In one village in Ghana, the device is used to provide clean water to a school, allowing the students to remain in class and receive an education. In another community, the SlingShot is used to provide water for crops, allowing farmers to grow more food and support their families.

Through interviews with Kamen and his team, as well as those who have been directly impacted by the SlingShot, the film offers a compelling look at the power of innovation and the difference that one person can make in the world.

Overall, SlingShot is a thought-provoking and inspiring documentary that sheds light on one of the most pressing issues facing our world today: the need for clean, safe drinking water. Through Kamen's work and the development of the SlingShot, the film offers hope for a brighter future and a world without water scarcity.

SlingShot is a 2014 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.7.
