The credit crunch has taken it’s toil in the USA, in much the same vain as Detroit. Fresno, the California Dream has come under the same financial dilemas. Owning a house, a car, a pool. Everyone wanted it and the wonderful world of credit made it all possible. Most of the pools are filled with of them are full of black drain water. Others have become graveyards for old lawn furniture and rodent carcasses. They are shaped like jelly beans and manufactured by companies named Sunny Side and Champagne. But now, with the foreclosure monster running wild, the dream is dry. Thousands of pools are festering in the hot Central Valley sun. For most people this is tragic.
But for some, it’s an opportunity, this is a great bit of filming and short documentary on the after math.
