TAPPED
THE MOVIE
Do you drink bottled water?
Do you know people who drink bottled water? Watch this trailer called “TAPPED.” It’s sad that there is a generation of children being raised right now that only knows bottled water. When I was growing up, no
one drank bottled water. Some might have taken old milk jugs to the grocery store to fill up for $0.25 from their filtered water. Perrier and Evian were the only bottled waters you could buy. Then sometime in the late 80’s it started catching on more and more. At some point there was a mindset projected on the popu- lation that you were a bad per- son if you didn’t drink bottled water. Water is a precious commodity
– protect it – drink it – from the tap. I know it’s hard to believe here in the U.S. that there will be wars fought for water, but there will be. It’s the next oil. Is access to clean drinking
water a basic human right, or a commodity that
should be
bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig’s debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water. From the producers of Who
Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.S.A., this timely documen-
ADistinctive style 13
tary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and un- seen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity: our water. From the plastic production to
the ocean in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspir- ing documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the com munities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film fea- tures those caught at the inter- section of big business and the public’s right to water.
