Explore the global water crisis, using California as a microcosm. River’s End shows how water politics that led to the draining of the Owens Valley by Los Angeles, made famous by the film “Chinatown,” continue to this day in ongoing efforts to take ever more water from Northern California’s San Francisco Bay estuary. Except this time, the water grab is at the hands of industrial agriculture.
