Presented by the Fort Worth Film Commission

Nestled in the 'Valley of Hidden Waters' within the West Texas desert, Dell City thrives as a remote oasis. Yet, turmoil strikes as El Paso offers lucrative water deals to neighboring landowners. Dell City's close-knit community faces division due to new water board rules, alleged to be influenced by billionaires, locking them out of these opportunities. Dell City's ranchers embark on a legal battle against the influential water board, ultimately reaching the Texas Supreme Court. 'Water Wars' narrates this small-town strife with statewide implications, prompting contemplation on the equitable sharing of life's most precious resource: water.
