Virtual Film Screening: Tapped

Chatham Community Library will host a virtual film screening of Tapped (2009) beginning Thursday, October 16, and continuing through Thursday, October 23, 2025.

 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? Tapped is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of the bottled water industry -- 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. 

 Film Highlights and Awards:
  • Award of Excellence, Indie Fest
  • Best of Fest, Colorado Environmental Film Festival
  • Gold Kahuna Award, Honolulu International Film Festival
  • Best Documentary, Anchorage International Film Festival
