The Grab
From filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish), The Grab is a global thriller following an investigative journalist who uncovers the money, influence, and alarming rationale behind efforts to control the most vital resource on the planet. Quietly and seemingly out of sight, governments, private investors and mercenaries are working to seize food and water resources at the expense of entire populations. These groups are establishing themselves as the new OPEC, where the future world powers will be those who control not oil, but food. Behind the scenes, the world’s superpowers are bracing for shortages that will trigger civil wars, topple governments and spark the mass migration of hundreds of millions of refugees. The stakes in The Grab are nothing less than survival.
