Tapped

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? 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 documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry and those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.
