Director Stephanie Soechtig tells us why bottled water is tapped
As we’ve previously reported, bottled water has a scary story and its one best not told at bedtime to small children. Why? Because you’re drinking tap water placed into containers that may have adverse effects on our health and certainly have adverse effects on the environment.
Luckily, the shady side to the bottled water industry is slowly being brought to light by a determined resident of Santa Monica. Stephanie Soechtig is the director of “Tapped“, a documentary by the producers of “Who Killed the Electric Car” and “I.O.U.S.A.” Soechtig, who has worked in television for ten years, is currently President of Atlas Films.
Recently, we spoke with Soechtig about the future of bottled water and why Michael Pollan is superior to George Clooney.
What would you tell someone who insists on drinking bottled water?
People still write to me asking how I can condone tap water with all the fluoride and chlorine in it – they still believe that doesn’t exist in bottled water. We have this blind faith when it comes to bottled water that it must be safer for us – why? Because we pay for it?
