The Chesters promote their success as the result of hope and luck, when in fact it is due to unnamed investors and the labor of countless unnamed staff who actually know what they’re doing. This film paints a false picture of what sustainable farming requires, and fails to acknowledge the incongruence of creating such a water-dependent ecosystem in the middle of the desert. This film is essentially the upper middle class’s vision of utopian farming, loaded with privilege and egotism.
