Stanley Tucci tells the story of William Mulholland and the lies that made Los Angeles possible.,
The founders of LA had a vision of a future megacity. But there was just one problem - it was a virtual desert, with very little rainfall.
William Mulholland was the man charged with bringing water to the desert. But not without a great deal of double dealing and duplicity.
California wants to dazzle you with its endless sunshine and visions of the future 鈥� but that鈥檚 just a mirage.
Stanley Tucci imagines the modern history of California as a Hollywood movie, playing a hard-boiled screenwriter uncovering the full, sordid truth. He knows exactly where all the bodies are buried.
