TAPPED (60' OR 90') GENRE: DOCUMENTARY DIRECTED BY STEPHANIE SOECHTIG 
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 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. Not only are we in a water crisis in
which 2/3 of the planet will be without drinkable water in just 11
years, but multinational corporations are literally pillaging
communities around the country for this precious resource and bottling
into the very bottles, which contribute the plastic soup in the middle
of the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, we decided we wanted to do to
bottled water what Al Gore did for energy efficient light bulbs –
inspire people to make small changes and minor sacrifices that make a
big impact.
