In the 1930's, the massive Quabbin Reservoir was built to meet Boston's water needs. At that time it was the largest man-made pure-water reservoir in the world, requiring the inundation of four towns and six villages, and the disinterment of 7,500 graves. This provocative film traces the history of Boston's water supply and, more broadly, raises a range of moral and political questions about the use of America's water resources.
