Water Bottles on the Big Screen
In keeping with our water theme this month, one of our readers reached out to me with a hot tip that a documentary about the bottle water industry, entitled Tapped, will be debuting July 10th at the Maine International Film Festival.
It’s amazing to me how many of the same issues we are addressing with Watershed are touched upon in their trailer. From the producers of one of my favorite films, “Who Killed the Electric Car,” this seems like an eye-opening film not to miss.
This looks great. The bigger story is that corporations are privatizing water supplies (not just bottled water) around the world, mostly in undeveloped countries that lack the infrastructure, putting a further economic burden on impoverished people to line the corrupt pockets of global corporations.
