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?

“As Mark Twain once said.. Whiskey is for sipping, and water is for fighting. And there is going to be a lot of fighting soon to come.”

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