Audubon Greenwich hosts an April 23 screening of Tapped, the award-winning documentary detailing the struggle against multi-national companies in the competition for water. Attending are the film's Director, Stephanie Soechtig and Producer, Sarah Olson, who also created Who Killed the Electric Car. They will answer audience questions after the screening.
Some people may not be fully aware of the pressures around water supplies. Tapped Director Stephanie Soechtig says, "Not only are we in a water crisis in which 2/3 of the planet will be without drinkable water in just 11 years, but multinational corporations are literally pillaging communities around the country for this precious resource and bottling into the very bottles which contribute the plastic soup in the middle of the Pacific Ocean." She hopes the film's story, a David and Goliath battle in which a regular person challenges a big corporation in order to initiate change, will inspire. I want people to walk away from this film knowing that they can make a difference," she says.
A wine & cheese reception and a 7 p.m. 'bottle exchange" precede the movie, which starts at 8:00 p.m. For the bottle exchange, bring an empty plastic water bottle (hopefully your last!) and get a brand-new steel water bottle from the film's producers (while supplies last). Tickets are $10 per person online (+ a $2 service charge) or $15 at the door, if space permits. To read more and to buy tickets visit this website. To watch "Tapped"'s trailer on YouTube, click here.
