A behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of the bottled water industry, this powerful film examines whether access to clean drinking water is a basic human right or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce. From the production of plastic bottles to the ocean where so many of these bottles end up, Tapped follows the machinations of the bottled-water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
