Lesotho has no oil. No gas. No minerals worth extracting. No coastline, no port, and no way out. It is one of only three countries on Earth completely surrounded by a single neighbour. Two million people, sitting high in the mountains, with almost no farmland and almost no exports. And it is one of the few African nations earning serious foreign revenue from a resource that regenerates every single year. Rain. In 1986, Lesotho signed a treaty to sell its water to South Africa. Then it spent the next four decades building the machinery to physically move rivers through the inside of a mountain range, across an international border, and into the taps of Johannesburg, a city that would have run dry without it. This documentary breaks down how that system was engineered, why gravity does almost all of the work, and why the country that needs the water cannot buy it from anyone else.
