Tapped Screening and Water Bottle Swap

The filmmakers of Tapped (www.tappedthemovie.com/) will be in Omaha exchanging the public’s harmful plastic water bottles for a free Klean Kanteen – the eco-friendly, BPA-free steel water bottle. There will also be a screening of the film following the bottle exchange.

This is part of a cross country tour dedicated to educating people on the negative effects of bottled water. The filmmakers, along with their translucent recycling truck, started in Los Angeles and will collect bottles over the course of the tour so that when they reach NY, they will have over 15,000 plastic water bottles.

About Tapped:
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 debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water.

From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.S.A., this timely documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity: our water.

From the plastic production to the ocean in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film features those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.
