What Lies Upstream is this gripping documentary that pulls you into a deep investigative dive. Cullen Hoback, the filmmaker, really digs into this massive drinking water contamination issue, and it’s almost like watching a slow unraveling of a mystery. The atmosphere is tense, revealing systemic failures in regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us. It's not just about the contamination; it’s how it reveals a larger distrust in institutions. Pacing is measured but engrossing, leading you through the layers of bureaucracy and individual stories. The practical effects are non-existent, but the real-life testimonies and interviews are raw and impactful, making it a distinctive entry in the documentary space.
