Tapped

An enlightening, eye-opening, anger-inducing, discussion-provoking, 2009 documentary reminiscent of Flow: For Love of Water that examines the controversial, multibillion-dollar bottled water industry in which companies such as Nestle, Coca Cola, and Pepsi Cola market and sell siphoned water from public lands for a handsome profit, and through informative interviews with politicians (such as Dennis Kucinich, Earl Blumenauer, and Shirley Franklin), Bottlemania writer Elizabeth Royte, advertising critic Barbara Lippert, Atlantic magazine editor Amanda Brown, environmental experts such as Ruth Caplan and Cat Warren, National Resources Defense Council lawyer Adrianna Quintero, council member Eugene Brown, and activists Horace Smith and Melissa Jarrell, the film examines the long-term, negative effects that bottled water has on the health, socio, ecological, ethical, and economic environment, including the dire impact of the carcinogenic neurotoxins such as PET and BPA found in plastic that can cause death and/or neurological disorders, pollution from refineries that create havoc with the environment, shorelines scattered with washed up plastic bottles and debris that kill wildlife, and immense plastic-filled floating garbage fields that destroy the marine ecosystem and its inhabitants.
