Anecdotes
End of film: This motion picture is a dramatic interpretation of true events based upon hundreds of media accounts of these events, as well as interviews with many of those involved. Much of the dialogue is based upon publicly recorded conversations and the congressional record. None of the people portrayed in this film were compensated. Some of the actual names have been changed, certain events and characters have been fictionalized and some time lines have been condensed for dramatic purpose.

Gaffes
The flag emblem on the soldiers uniform is not that of Ecuador, is from Bolivia.

Jack Begosian: It started about 300 years ago in England with the turning of public lands into private property. And it changed the way we think, the way we view time, and land, and water - and even people. It turned them into units. Commodities to be bought and sold, and therefore exploited.
Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, but what is bought and sold is constant. That's never going to change.
Jack Begosian: You know what Sarah, that is absolutely incorrect. Society need to approve of the things to be turned into commodities before they can be bought or sold. People can be bought or sold, correct? That did happen. As horrific and diabolical as that may sound, it's a fact.
Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, and still slavery happens in some countries today.
Jack Begosian: Regrettably true. But why is it that in western society we no longer buy and sell people.
Radio Caller Woman: Because it's immoral and it's wrong in all aspects.
Jack Begosian: Oh, well is it wrong to sell water? What about air, would it be wrong to sell air?
Radio Caller Woman: Air, I mean come on, I mean you can't sell air.
Jack Begosian: No?
Radio Caller Woman: Well, what if you can't afford it, hmm?
Jack Begosian: There's lots of people all around the world that can't afford much water. And what happens?
Radio Caller Woman: I don't know.
Jack Begosian: They die. Is it so far-fetched, Sarah, you can sell water but you can't sell air?

An Alarm Bell......Now That Your Awake

On the surface, this contemporary assault on corporate maleficence is enough to make its point. But the subject matter is a complicated affair that is lacking in this movie that feels rushed.

Messing about in third world countries and designing destinies built on precious resources and manipulating the environment is a heavy undertaking and the suffering of the population by these all too insensitive entities is a problem that is beginning to take shape and needs to be addressed.

It is attempted here as an action film with scruples and it does have its heart in the right place. But the very low budget and the glossy attempt to intertwine multi-national business interest and investigative journalism is a bit too much to maintain in this noble but shallow effort.

The name Actors are probably here for their moral support and do add a level of authenticity to the cause, but there just isn't enough depth pursued or motivations on either side to justify the broad concept that it is at hand here.

It plays like a short story or a magazine article. Enough to tantalize an interest in the matter but not enough to be at all convincing. It does open up the subject and allows some light if not insight into this very disturbing situation.
