Synopsis by Elizabeth Smith
This ten-part BBC series examines why people around the world often respond so differently to specific places, economic issues, and cultural realities. During this episode, viewers are introduced to groups of people living along a stretch of the California-Nevada border who are battling over rights to the Truckee River Basin water. Tribal interests, land developers' demands, general community requirements, and farmers' needs are all being evaluated in light of the limited water supplies.
