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\u2019s award winning feature film, TAPPED is an unflinching examination of the business of the billion dollar bottled water industry. From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.U.S.A. this timely \u00a0documentary is a behind the scenes look at the unregulated and unseen works of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back one resource that ought never become a commodity, our water.\u00a0 From the plastic production to the ocean where so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry, and the communities that were unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film features those caught in the intersection of big business and the public\u2019s right to water.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n
