Black Market was the first TV projected that I directed and one of the last projects that Michael K Williams worked on. He championed for the stories of oppressed and for the people who told them. His legacy continues in his work.
By 2025, two thirds of the world will face extreme water stress. Already, we see black markets for fresh water in places like India, Pakistan and Mexico. Meanwhile in the United States, Wall Street takes bets on water stocks or “liquid gold” as Detroit and California shuts off its fresh water supply.
We travel to California, Mexico City and San Isidro, Puerto Rico for a critical look into what black market means. and who gets to deem it “water theft” in a colonized state?
