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? Stephanie Soechtig's debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water. 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. 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.

This is a nice demonstration of how we are able to defend capitalism until the "invisible hand of the market" touches us directly. Then we become the most die-hard leftists, defending common values. But I understand the protagonists because it's all about the nature of man as such. Although the documentary does not say anything new, it is not entirely out of place to remind ourselves of a few "public secrets" from time to time. Save water, drink beer.
