Come watch Tapped with the Rotaract and the Rotary Clubs of Toronto on Wednesday May 26, at 7pm, at Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Ave.
Tapped examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil.
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 become a commodity: our water.
From the plastic production to the ocean so many of these bottles end up in, this inspiring doc 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 doc shows those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.
Only $5 including pop corn! All proceeds go to WASRAG - the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group.
