Did you know that a lot of bottled water is actually “tap” water? The documentary “Tapped”, focuses on the lead character – bottled water, and examines whether clean drinking water is a basic human right or a commodity to be bought and sold. 

Some facts:

• 75% of the planet is covered in water, but only 1% is drinkable

• approximately an area the size of Texas of floating plastic covers our oceans

• bottled water is not necessarily more pure, or more tested, than public tap water

• last year, on average consumers used 167 disposable water bottles, yet only 38.3 were recycled 

Tapped invites audiences to go behind-the-scenes and examine the role of the bottled water industry. The narrative is framed by commentary from the FDA, citizens from the communities where water is extracted for bottling, as well as testimony from bottled water lobbyists. The takeaways include a better understanding of the importance of clean drinking water, the effects of bottling on our health, its impact on our oceans, and our growing reliance on oil.
