What: Tapped, a 2009
documentary about the big business of bottled water
When: Sunday, Nov.
10, 7:00 PM
Where: Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship, corner of 27th Avenue and 16th Street
The documentary Tapped 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.
Soechtig's cautionary tale is well supported by interviews
with a variety of activists, environmentalists, community leaders, and several
small-town residents whose health and welfare have been compromised by the
encroachment of the bottled water industry.
Discussion following the film will be led by Lynna Kauchek
of the organization Food & Water Watch, Ft. Lauderdale office. The Fellowship's Fair Trade Corner will be
open for 1/2 hour prior to the film.
The public is invited, and there is no charge. However, donations to offset the cost of the
screening rights fees are always welcomed.
