California is a legit 3rd world country.
Way to show driving while on a cell phone in the reenactment at 24:49. Oh yeah, be better than the farmers and make the movie free.
Jesus Christ is Lord!
wow! this is not free? you got to be shitting me…
and if i worked at National Geographic… i'd kinda strongly hint that NG might want to make this free…
I only watched this film because of a class assignment. I Lived in Bakersfield, my whole life and was never aware of any of this. I even worked for a chemical company and delivered products to Paramount Farms in Lost Hills. Wow!
I shouldn't have to pay for a movie that i have to watch for a class
Greed is sickening
Make this movie free!!! It is too important to be behind a pay wall – and can be used as an educational tool at many levels, K-12, college, and outreach!
If National Geographic cared they would make this free for everyone in California to watch. I live in the Redwoods along the Eel river in Humboldt. For 110 years our salmone have died off so the wealthy land barons in Sanoma can grow wine grapes. In the drought the Eel river ran bone dry because Sonoma county diverted all the water to the Russian river for mostly wine production. Humboldt gets ZERO benefit from this at all, we actually got put on water ration while they poured millions of gallons of our water on their pricy grapes. F**k the wine grapes, I'd rather have healthy wild salmon than grapes for the greedy wealthy. Humboldt is a naturally a very wet climate year round, Sanoma is naturally a dry desert year round.
What a disgrace that this greed is allowed. This is one of the many layers of control, manipulation, Greed, and the players that are involved to create this in the first place. People like the John Vidovich's who play the coy game of cat & mouse yet all the time a player all the same. Take, take TAKE, from the people. Throw a party for them, build a little park and yet no clean water to drink. This is just plain disgusting vile rich taking advantage of the poor. Sick of this. I will NEVER buy another POMegrante, almond, or drink the water of FIGI again!!!!SAY NO to corporate farms (if you can) buy from a local small farm. Please.
Kinds pathetic when 1 word can debunk this ENTIRE video: Desalinization.
CA needs to reinvest in public municipal water systems and storage. Water is not just a right for the rich and the Resnicks have played Californians for their own profits long enough. Enough greed Resnick's and stop using Chevrons oil waste water on food and buying politicians. Politicians stop taking money from these greedy oligarchs. Water is a right of every Californian. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act is great but too long a time frame and will prove to be too late in twenty years after the oligarchs privatize all the water for 2% of GDP made by few really wealthy folks while others dry out in every way.
The new oil. The Bush family own the aquafers in South America.
RD says; Something stinks ! Janice Perlman of UC Berkeley is behind the California Mega Cities Project , Massive Developments . She also works for National Geographic ! Water War for her idea of huge populations ?
Water should never be allowed to be privatized. It's immoral.
