Garbriela Cowperthwaite's newest film is an investigative thriller that offers a great deal of insight into the truth behind the colonization of our world's most precious natural resource WATER. It follows journalist Nathan Halverson of the Center for Investigative Reporting and his team as they track leaked documents. The title refers to the land GRAB done by governments in China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other powerful entities around the world as they try to gain control of food and water outside their borders.
The Investigative Team
Gabriela Cowperthwaite became seasoned at cultivating whistleblowers and uncovering secrets when her 2013 documentary BLACKFISH, brought major changes to SeaWorld. It remains one of the highest grossing documentaries of all time.
Award-winning reporter Nathan Halverson at the Center for Investigative Reporting in California, valiantly worked to peel back the cover-ups, often at great personal risk.
