For the Greatest Good

Rural teens seeking water justice must reckon with the dangers of privatisation and learn what justice truly means. After years of poor water quality, Gavin fears his town is one burst pipe away from losing access to safe drinking water forever. The awareness campaign he runs with his boyfriend, Kyler, and best friend, MacKenzie, has gotten them nowhere. Demoralised, the teens try to find another solution. Gavin’s rich estranged father claims that privatising their town’s water would get them better infrastructure, and his friend’s company CrispFlow could solve everything if the mayor, MacKenzie’s mother, would give them the bid. Wanting to believe his father, Gavin convinces his friends to help him rig the process in CrispFlow’s favour. But as they learn more about what privatisation would cost, Gavin will question if his father has Gavin and his town’s best interest at heart and what his community truly needs.
