About this video

In episode one of Sierra Club Radio, Producer - Director - Writer Deborah Kaufman discusses her book Thirst and the problems of water regulation. Thirst investigates eight recent high-profile controversies over the corporate takeover of water in the U.S, and illuminates how citizens are fighting back in heartland communities like Stockton, CA, Lexington, KY, Holyoke, MA, and Mecosta County, MI. Political corruption, high stakes financial takeovers, and behind the scenes maneuvering by some of the richest corporations characterize a David and Goliath battle in which local citizens muster creative and often surprising organizing methods to preserve their right to local, public control of this precious resource.

Great video. I like how she addresses the main problem without hesitation. In my opinion, some politicians involved in this are being given huge sums of money for their advocacy on several bills being passed.
