Chicago premiere!
2009, Stephanie Soechtig, USA, 76 min.
“Treads similar ground as FLOW: FOR THE LOVE OF WATER, but digs deeper into the crises of water with much more insight.”—NYCmovieguru.com
TAPPED has a pipeline to the dirty secrets of an industry that purports to peddle a pure product, and the results are of concern to anyone who drinks water from a plastic bottle. Director Soechtig dives into the unregulated world of bottled water to examine the ethical, environmental, and health issues surrounding water as a commercial commodity. Among her revelations: 40% of bottled water is municipal tap water that major corporations suck up in small-town locations and sell back to the public under well-known brand names. DigiBeta video.

Post #2 - December 30th, 2009, 11:36 pmI particularly like the Lou Piniella cameo at about 1:30 in the linked video.
We were just in MN, where the in-laws have a garageful of bottled water from CostCo. Sure, it's bad for the environment, but water is so cheap by the case, how can you refuse!
