Pistachio Wars: How U.S. Imperialism and Corporate Agribusiness Fuel California’s Drought Wildfires!
the billionaires that own most of the water in California are to blame for the fires happening in Los Angeles and the so called "Drought"
Dive into Pistachio Wars, a powerful documentary that unearths the hidden connections between U.S. imperialism, corporate agribusiness, and the escalating environmental crises in California. This film exposes how pistachio farming, dominated by wealthy agribusiness empires with roots in exploitative imperial practices, has weaponized water scarcity for profit while devastating ecosystems and Indigenous communities.
By tracing the rise of industrial agriculture in California, Pistachio Wars uncovers the colonial foundations of water theft and land expropriation, starting from the displacement of Indigenous peoples during westward expansion to the construction of massive irrigation systems that prioritize corporate profits over community needs. The documentary also sheds light on the global reach of these agribusiness conglomerates, whose exploitation extends to foreign markets, perpetuating cycles of resource extraction, labor exploitation, and environmental degradation abroad.
California’s drought, exacerbated by climate change and unchecked agribusiness water consumption, is not just a local issue—it’s a microcosm of global climate imperialism. As pistachio farms guzzle billions of gallons of water, fragile ecosystems are pushed to the brink, fueling catastrophic wildfires and threatening biodiversity. Indigenous land stewards, whose traditional ecological knowledge offers solutions to these crises, face ongoing marginalization as their voices are drowned out by powerful corporate lobbies.
Through a decolonial lens, Pistachio Wars amplifies the resistance movements led by Indigenous activists, farmers, and environmentalists fighting for water justice, sovereignty, and the dismantling of imperialist structures in agriculture. It challenges viewers to confront the global impacts of food imperialism, rethink consumer choices, and advocate for policies that prioritize environmental sustainability and Indigenous rights.
