Cadillac Desert, the PBS mini-series documentary, should be mandatory viewing for all students and most adults in the US. I don't believe PBS will be airing it anymore as their website dedicated to the film is closed. The four episodes can be had for about $80.00 on DVD or VHS tape. To rich for my blood, but still believe it to be one of the best PBS efforts I have seen after This Old House, Crockett's Victory Garden and Antiques Road Show.
A definitive effort about water, power and politics.
