| Summary: | Part Two: What was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River disappeared more than 100 years ago due to water diversion and land reclamation for agriculture. As we meet a series of people living in and around the old lake bed, Tulare - The Phantom Lake raises sometimes unsettling, unresolved questions about what was gained and what was lost in the process. THE VALLEY AND THE LAKE is a four-part film odyssey focused on water issues, conflicts, and hopes in California's Central Valley, the breadbasket of the world and also the most human-altered landscape on the planet. |
