By the makers of “Who Killed the Electric Car”, Tapped is still circulating in Indy theaters across the U.S.

The film examines the role of the bottled water industry and its’ effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil. Is water a human right or a commodity, that should packaged and shipped across the world?

**Following the film, there will be a panel discussion led by local water experts/activists.
