QPIRG Shows "Tapped" Second Canadian Screening

The First Eastern Canadian Screening of the Film "Tapped" will be held Friday March 19th at 7:30PM in Concordia's H-110 auditorium.

QPIRG Concordia in association with Sustainable Concordia and tapthirst will be showing the documentary. This will be the second Canadian screening of the documentary. The first Screening in Eastern Canada (the first screening will be the 10th at UBC (University of British Columbia)).
From the Producers of "Who Killed the Electric Car" and "I.O.U.S.A.,"

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?

"Tapped" gives 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 becaome 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 indystry and the communities which wew the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the water industry, this revelatory film deatures those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.

  1. I don't know if this is too big? I wanted to add the info about March 11th... should I just reduce this and make the other one?
