Water & Power: A California Heist (PG)

synopsis

Through candid interviews with award-winning journalists, local citizens, activists, state officials, environmental attorneys, farmers, investors, scientists and developers, Water & Power: A California Heist examines pivotal events that now jeopardize the state's groundwater reserves and explores one of the most urgent crises of our time: the privatization of a natural resource that is essential to our survival as a species. While recent rains have eased the drought across California, the ongoing drama of the groundwater story - impacted by decades of pumping - is only now coming to light.
