Review of Dying for Water: Indians, Politics and Dead Fish in the Kla

A refreshing approach to a story that needs telling.
The host/narrator slips from outside to inside
with ease: sometimes telling us, sometimes
commenting on what someone else said, occasionally
giving his take. The break in that fourth wall
works well. Good mix of voices, music used
sparsely for sweetening (though the choices of music
sometimes perplexed me). The doc starts out
just a bit preachy, but at least lets me know
that this is not an "outside about" but an "inside
about": that I shouldn't expect multiple facets.
Makes me want to hear more from the producer/s.
Good tech, too.
