The documentary views the practices of 'The Wonderful Company', aka Paramount Farms, a mega-agribusiness that uses large quantities of water to irrigate acre upon acre of almond trees (a luxury crop that uses lots of water) while in a nearby town the residents have no water. Whole counties, such as Kern County are in their pocket.
