Most see documentary of the year! submitted by pmysore on August 15, 2011, 7:24am This movie was an eyeopener about the bottling industry. It is amazing how badly rigged the system is. It talks about the right for people for free access to quality drinking water. The most shocking part was when i learned that the quality of water provided by the bottling industry is unregulated and in lot of cases the city drinking water is subject to higher standards of quality testing than bottled water. Dont miss the movie!

Beware submitted by ftan on July 15, 2012, 11:34am This movie is highly motivating. Be warned however, you may not ever drink bottled water again. Actually, you shouldn't. Bottled water is a major player in pollution, cancer, and other serious issues.
