Just perfect...

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I live in a major city. My tap water sometimes has unacceptable levels of fecal coliforms so they add so much chlorine when i take a shower my throat burns. Research the epidemic of prescription meds in tap water, municipalities are not equipped to remove them. I agree there are problems but trying to demonize everyone won't truly solve problems. Wish you had done more balanced report. In one part they claim water is shipped out of state then when they criticize FDA they say most of the water stays in state. They don't discuss job creation and local economic concerns. Also if this is such a huge industry, there is a need being met. My tap doesn't exist 3 hours from home and I'm not carrying a day's water supply on my back everywhere I go. No alternatives were presented.

America used to be filled with Puritans. Those people are dead. But their mentalities still live on. Dark skinned people, foreigner, anything that is perceived as external is ready to be used as why the dreams of somebody were not fulfilled after 20 years of work.The movie opens with a balding white middle-aged man playing concerned. I am quite sure the character is genuinely concerned, yet that does not lessen the ridicule of the scene. He is used with the "good ol times". That is why he wears artificial fiber clothes made somewhere in Asia. He remembers when he was a youngster and that life. This is why he drives a new truck, bigger than his daddy's. His family (I assume) relaxes on the banks of a river, just like local farmers used to in crop season. But the big bad wizard has come to their quiet neighborhood! A foreign company is sucking all their water. Which is not their anyway. And because there is no water, they are standing next to a wide river.I nearly dropped off my chair when the balding white middle-aged man remembered "this is like Texas in the '30s".And the movie goes on and on. It is silly as a Laurel and Hardy comedy. But saddening at the same time. Laurel and Hardy made it look like a story with silly people. This looks like reality. And these scared well-fed rednecks have the right to vote and more money in the bank than a large village in India.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Being in the bottled water industry, the misinformation spewed out by the people who made this propaganda piece is simply unbelievable and you have to suspend all logic to buy into the hysteria.1.) bottled water IS regulated by "truth in labeling" laws; it must be what the label says it is. Spring water from a "certified spring", purified water must measure 10 parts per million or less of ANYTHING in the water, distilled, etc.2.) they fail to mention why BPA is used in the bottles or in any plastic: to strengthen and keep the bottles from failing part. I've seen bottles over 20 years old, just as solid as the day made. So how can all this horrible chemical be "leaching" out of the container.3.) the overwhelming majority of bottled water is consumed out of bottles that do not contain BPA, they are PETE bottles, no BPA involved.4.) In another anti plastic movie, Plastic Paradise, the cute little Asian chick wants to demonstrate how horrible it is to drink out of plastic bottles, because of the horrific dangers of BPA. SOOOOO, she gets a blood test done to measure her currant BPA levels, THEN she handles a THERMAL STORE RECEIPT, then gets another blood test. Unh? What? Wait a minute. Why doesn't she drink out of a plastic bottle? Because the majority of BPA in people comes from other sources far more insidious than plastic water bottles. Another documentary goes further by locating people who have NEVER drank bottled water and yet they have elevated levels of BPA in their systems.5.) The FDA (the GUVMINT) is trying to kill us by NOT banning BPA, the GUVMINT allows the chemical companies to kill us with pollution from oil and bottle making processes, but we are to trust the GUVMINT when they send tap water to your house? I mean they put CHLORINE in the stuff to KILL THINGS!! But THAT'S OK to drink because the GUVMINT says so? No thanks. I'll stick to drinking bottled water from reliable sources.Ask yourself, where does Coke (Dasani) and Pepsi Aquafina) get the water for their soda? And how come it tastes consistently the same from coast to coast, given that over 700 different containment are found in tap water across the country? Do you really believe they would allow the nasty water say in LA spoil the taste of their magic formulas for their products? Reverse Osmosis is what they use amongst other processes, to make sure the water is a neutral as possible.Just do you homework. In many areas there are water stores, that process city water through Reverse Osmosis filtration systems that remove virtually all contaminants from the water.The GUVMINT and a lot of these "enviro-nazis" are in bed together more than you realize and do not want you to drink bottled water. Period.

Yes, you do get mostly one side of the argument. Is this a bad thing? No! Bottled water companies have had YEARS AND YEARS and MULTIPLE PLATFORMS to spew their arguments about why their product is great, so what's so wrong about one little movie trying to counter their claims? People have a tendency to attack individuals rather than corporations, and its just not fair. This movie brings up MANY different arguments and reasons why bottled water is bad. You will most definitely learn something from watching it, and most likely, you will learn a lot. They hit on everything--chemical pollution, plastic pollution and the mile-wide plastic pools in the oceans, water privatization/community water rights, and so on. This isn't just about the environment, and it isn't just about people--it's about both. Great documentary hits on many issues surrounding bottled water, and is well filmed. Watch it!
