Razor sharp and blisteringly accurate, Halcyon Heart Films’ shocking new factual-drama follows the victims, whistleblowers and England's privatized water companies across a decade-long investigation that lays bare a vast national scandal. These privatized water companies, often owned by global and overseas investment entities, have extracted an estimated £145 billion since privatization, illegally dump raw sewage into rivers and seas 790 times every day.

Written and directed by BAFTA winner Joseph Bullman and led by powerhouse performances from Emmy nominee David Thewlis as retired detective Ash Smith and BAFTA winner Jason Watkins as Oxford professor Peter Hammond, the story follows these two men who begin to ask questions after noticing their local river has turned brown and all the fish have vanished. When the answers they get from the water company and the Government regulator don’t add up, Ash and Peter embark on an investigation, which will take them to the heart of what may turn out to be the greatest corporate scandal in the country’s history.
