In a world marked by closed borders, corporate warriors, and a global computer network, three strangers risk their lives to connect, break through the barriers of technology, and unseal their fates. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbJGQl-dJ6c&themeRefresh=1 This synopsis mentions the water and the drones. > Memo (Luis Fernando Peña), a young Mexican, lives on a milpa in Santa > Ana, Oaxaca with his family. Once, a river flowed through the milpa, > which his father owns. But a few years ago, the Del Rio Water Company > built a dam upstream. Now, residents of Santa Ana must pay $1/gallon > to enter the facility and collect water. > > In his spare time, Memo tinkers with discarded radio parts and builds > an antenna to pick up voices from far away. One night, he overhears a > transmission between Rudy (Jacob Vargas), a drone gunship operator, > and his compatriots. His signal is detected, and tracked down to his > family's shack in Santa Ana. Live on TV the next day, Rudy carries out > a mission to neutralize an "aqua-terrorist intercept". As Memo and > family watch on their TV, they soon realize that the target is the > antenna on top of their shack. They run back to the shack, only to see > it obliterated by a hovering drone gunship. As Memo's father crawls > out of the building, Rudy gets confirmation that he is a known > "aqua-terrorist", and Rudy fires a rocket at him, blowing him to bits.
