The new film from the producers of WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR and I.O.U.S.A., exposing the big business of bottled water!

"An explosive and compelling new documentary." - Peter Rothberg, THE NATION

"There's a not-so-new boogeyman in town and it's the bottled water business, whose troubling tentacles are persuasively exposed by director Stephanie Soechtig in her compact, clear-headed documentary TAPPED." - Gary Goldstein, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

"An illuminating, well-researched and vital documentary." - NYC MOVIE GURU

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? Filmmaker 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 oceans in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities that 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.
