This a very good documentary, a great story, using honest and open participants. The well publicised problems with the water supply and poor leadership of elected officials is the surface story. The deeper story looks at how the residents identify themselves, what agency they believe they have in their society and the responses of the officials (who are also part of the public) who are their to help, support and protect.
Essentially, an excoriation of a community, no-one escapes unscathed. Even the police are shown as being part of the problem. This is a documentary that all communities world wide can identify.
While a well made, well edited and a consistent narrative, do not lose sight that the documentary makers have control of that narrative and you only see what they let you see, in a context they control.
Be nice to see a follow up in a few years.
