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? Stephanie Soechtig’s award-winning feature film, Tapped is an unflinching examination of the billion dollar bottled water industry.

From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.U.S.A., this timely documentary is a behind the scenes look at the unregulated and unseen works of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back one resource that ought never become a commodity, our water. From the plastic production to the ocean where so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry, and the communities that were unwitting chips on the table.

A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film features those caught in the intersection of big business and the public’s right to water.

Producer Sarah Olson and director Stephanie Soechtig are driving across the country urging Americans to Get Off the Bottle! They will collect pledges for people to reduce their bottled water use and trade people their empty bottles of water for a free Klean Kanteen stainless steel bottle.

There will be a screening of the film on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22nd, at 7:00 PM at Sunshine Cinemas, 143 E. Houston Street in New York City,. Go at 6:00 pm to exchange your plastic water bottle for a free stainless steel bottle.
