What Tapped Is About

The documentary by Stephanie Soechtig and Jason Lindsey opens on a single question: is access to clean water a right, or a commodity to be bought and sold? It follows the bottled water industry from the towns where the water is drawn, through the plants where the plastic is made, out to the ocean where the bottles end up. Its argument is stated plainly, that the industry is unregulated and that water is being privatised, and it makes no attempt at an even balance. Responses from the industry are part of the account. The directors began by researching ocean pollution and found the trail kept leading back to bottled water. It is less a film about water than about who owns it.
