- QuizEnd of film: This motion picture is a dramatic interpretation of true events based upon hundreds of media accounts of these events, as well as interviews with many of those involved. Much of the dialogue is based upon publicly recorded conversations and the congressional record. None of the people portrayed in this film were compensated. Some of the actual names have been changed, certain events and characters have been fictionalized and some time lines have been condensed for dramatic purpose.

- Citazioni
Jack Begosian: It started about 300 years ago in England with the turning of public lands into private property. And it changed the way we think, the way we view time, and land, and water - and even people. It turned them into units. Commodities to be bought and sold, and therefore exploited.
Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, but what is bought and sold is constant. That's never going to change.
Jack Begosian: You know what Sarah, that is absolutely incorrect. Society need to approve of the things to be turned into commodities before they can be bought or sold. People can be bought or sold, correct? That did happen. As horrific and diabolical as that may sound, it's a fact.
Radio Caller Woman: Yeah, and still slavery happens in some countries today.
Jack Begosian: Regrettably true. But why is it that in western society we no longer buy and sell people.
Radio Caller Woman: Because it's immoral and it's wrong in all aspects.
Jack Begosian: Oh, well is it wrong to sell water? What about air, would it be wrong to sell air?
Radio Caller Woman: Air, I mean come on, I mean you can't sell air.
Jack Begosian: No?
Radio Caller Woman: Well, what if you can't afford it, hmm?
Jack Begosian: There's lots of people all around the world that can't afford much water. And what happens?
Radio Caller Woman: I don't know.
Jack Begosian: They die. Is it so far-fetched, Sarah, you can sell water but you can't sell air?

* 1/2 (out of 4)
A real misfire of a film about a South American town where a large group of people become sick after sewage gets in their drinking water. To cover up the crime the military executes the survivors but a couple (Forest Whitaker, Eva Longoria) survive and soon an ex-CIA agent (Andy Garcia) is trying to rescue them and get their story out. A DARK TRUTH is a really bad movie in several ways but a lot of the blame has to go to writer-director Damian Lee who just doesn't come up with a very interesting story or a good way to tell it. There are so many problems with the story itself that you have to wonder why he elected to go with a fake story instead of getting something real. This is basically just a message picture where once again greed turns people into evil monsters over a natural resource. The problem is that the film just wants to preach its message without giving us a story or characters to really care about. The film bounces around from the jungles to the high-top people trying to cover up the crime and also gives us flashbacks to the CIA agent working as a radio host giving off various speeches. None of this comes together in any way, shape or form and in the end this movie just ends up dragging to the point where the viewer will be wanting to hit the stop button. It doesn't help that there are some pretty boring directorial choices and especially when it comes to the editing. Just check out the scenes between Garcia and his wife were the edits back and forth between them are so annoying that you just want to scream. I will say that the performances are better than average but then again we've got a group of professionals here. With that said, their work can't come close to saving this turkey.
