Groups fighting a Nestlé water-bottling plant in Sacramento are bringing a documentary about the bottled water industry to the Crest Theatre Wednesday night.
Save Our Water Sacramento and the Alliance for Democracy's Defending Water for Life campaign are hosting two screenings of "Tapped," a 76-minute film examining the industry and the question of whether access to water is a human right or a commodity that should be bought and sold.
"We felt that now is an important time to bring that kind of film to Sacramento so people can find out what kind of issues we're facing with this proposed Nestlé bottling plant," said Sacramento resident Evan Tucker, a leader of Save Our Water Sacramento. "It deals with Nestlé in particular, but also the effects of the industry in general — from the petroleum refineries used to make the plastic, to the trash that plastic creates and the effects on communities losing access to their water."
The movie was created by Santa Monica-based Atlas Films, led by director Stephanie Soechtig and executive producers Michelle and Michael Walrath.
The event is a fundraiser for Save Our Water Sacramento. After each showing, organizers will discuss how the film connects to Sacramento and answer questions about the Nestlé water-bottling plant, Tucker said.
"It's a very powerful film," he said. "We want people to understand that this is happening in Sacramento, and if they feel strongly about it, they can do something about it."
"Tapped" will be shown at 5:30 and 8 p.m. Wednesday. Tickets for students and seniors are $6 and $9.50 for the general public.
