Filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish) returns with another explosive exposé. On a global scale, governments and uber-wealthy private investors move to secure control of the natural resources that will provide food and water to the world’s population for the next century and beyond, working either in the shadows or waging smokescreen wars to ruthlessly grab for power. Communities are forced to stand by as their aquifers are sucked dry, and land they have
owned for generations is grabbed from under their feet. At great risk, investigative reporters valiantly work to peel back the cover-ups in real time.
