I don't think I ever said it was a big film. It was a film about a

Ever seen Chinatown?
 

Oh hell, the southwestern US states, various Native American groups and
Mexico have been legally fighting over the water from the Colorado River
for _decades_.

I got /that/ reference, but, in my reply, failed to say "yes, I have
seen /Chinatown/". But that didn't make the point the same way the

cornering the market in water for itself -- the water was run by a
public utility.
