ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Sandbranch is a community outside of Dallas that hasn’t had running water or well water for decades, but the residents refuse to leave.
Founded by former slaves, it used to be a thriving town of over 500 people. In the 1980s, its wells were contaminated. The residents have been fighting for running water ever since. Now, led by a pastor, an environmental lawyer, and past and present residents of the community, Sandbranch is on the brink of change.
