VOD REVIEWS: Cullen Hoback's WHAT LIES UPSTREAM will make you question every bottle of water you take a drink from. Mmmmm, refreshing!
In terms of film style, What Lies Upstream is almost sneaky. Hoback has a knack for ingratiating himself with people and gaining trust. It doesn’t matter that he’s a California liberal. He masterfully parlays his few childhood memories from visiting relatives in West Virginia into full acceptance by the vocally anti-regulation, anti-Obama residents who are struggling to get answers from the water authority, health officials and even Senator Joe Manchin.
