The Age of Water
Season 38

When three children die of leukemia in a rural Mexican community, two mothers partner with a hydrogeologist to investigate their water supply. The discovery of dangerous radioactivity leads to community backlash and government denial. As they uncover how industrial farming is tapping ancient, contaminated aquifers, their fight for justice shows the personal cost of exposing environmental threats.
