Tapped, the Movie
“With style, verve and righteous anger, the film exposes the bottled water industry’s role in suckering the public, harming our health, accelerating climate change, contributing to overall pollution, and increasing America’s dependence on fossil fuels. All while gouging consumers with exorbitant and indefensible prices.” –Organic Consumers Association
By 2030 the United Nations estimates two-thirds of the world will lack access to clean drinking water. Tapped will illustrate the impact of the global water crisis on America and what we can do as individuals to enact change sooner rather than later.
Tapped examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil..
The documentary also includes scenes shot in Corpus Christi, Texas, where filmmakers speak with people who live near an oil refinery that makes paraxylene, the primary ingredient in the PET plastic used to make bottles.
“It takes 17 million barrels of oil to produce the plastic bottles used annually in the United States,” Soechtig (the films’ director) said. “That’s not including refrigeration, or transport.”
