Water Town

A rag tag crew of unexpected activists takes on Crystal Geyser, a Japanese pharmaceutical company, a logging behemoth, and a French billionaire to fight for the spring water that flows from Mt Shasta into their homes — raising fundamental questions of whether water should be managed as a private commodity or a public good.

PBS Truly CA, 2019

In 2021, after a five-year legal battle and with support from the documentary, the City of Weed won the rights to its Mt Shasta spring water in perpetuity.
