“Not only are we in a water crisis in which 2/3 of the planet will be without drinkable water in just 11 years, but multinational corporations are literally pillaging communities around the country for this precious resource and bottling into the very bottles, which contribute the plastic soup in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Consequently, we decided we wanted to do to bottled water what Al Gore did for energy efficient light bulbs ? inspire people to make small changes and minor sacrifices that make a big impact.”
“Eye-opening, informative and incredibly important for you to see...Tapped is another example of realizing film?s potential to inspire. This is a passionate documentary, well-executed from engaging and intelligent voices who will inform and entertain you with their movie. See it!”
