Classified cables. Secret land grabs. Biblical springs run dry. Jet packs. (Jet packs!) "The Grab" sounds like fiction -- it's not. In this episode, investigative journalist Nate Halverson tells the little-known, world-shaping story at the heart of this gripping new documentary.

Food, water: As governments around the world become increasingly desperate for these resources, the consequences get shocking.

"The Grab" premieres June 14th in theaters and over assorted streaming platforms.

I live in Marana, Arizona. Once the word got out there was a backlash that put an end to the Saudi owned farm. Their permits were rescinded in April of 2023. According to a PBS article the Saudis were pumping up to 3,000 gallons per minute to water their alfalfa that would then be sent back to Saudi Arabia.

Do another show on China's use of large scale factory fishing operations to strip fish out of the world's oceans. They especially prey on smaller island and coastal nations that are not able to defend themselves.

China also bought Tyson which is the most popular chicken producer. Why did that go through?

Love the fact that both of them are using cabled headphones. The entire topic is absolutely as important as Collateral Damage video was for Wikileaks.

Grow trees, their roots will pull up water and save our rivers - example Madras Sadhguru planted millions of trees and stopped famine and saved River Cavery..
