Fed Event: EESG Screening and discussion of TAPPED

Screening and discussion of TAPPED - a recent documentary on the global impact of bottled water

12:15 - 1:30pm February 3, 2012, 1113 Van Munching Hall

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN US! Please invite any interested parties :)

This week the EESG would like to host a screening and discussion of the documentary TAPPED. Atlas Films (2012) describes the movie below:

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.

The film will be followed by a short discussion on the global implications of clean drinking water and the role that universities/students/media/etc. can play in changing the status quo.


We look forward to seeing you at our discussion!
