TAPPED- Wednesday, March 23rd, 7 p.m.

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 documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and
unseen 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
inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the
unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this
revelatory film features those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.
