Code Blue tells true stories using water security as a means to illustrate the dangers of and solutions to climate change. For example, here we expose the issue of Saudi Arabia unjustly purchasing U.S. water rights and U.S. land to grow cattle feed that is shipped back to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia was legally permitted to buy these water rights despite an 18-year drought in the American Southwest; in Arizona alone, they can freely extract up to 2.3 million gallons of water a day. Arizona’s local solutions to the historic drought could help communities across America.
United States’ citizens deserve adequate water security. Unfortunately, this right is persistently unmet, depriving Americans of a healthy lifestyle. Code Blue seeks to educate viewers about this grim reality and inspire change for the better.
