BOTTLE THIS!

Warner Bottled water claims to be the healthy alternative — but is it really worth paying 1,000 times more than for tap? And how did tap water get such a bad rap?
In this narrated photo essay the filmmaker looks at the myths and realities of the bottled water industry. How much is hype, and how much not? Might tap water use the techniques of bottled water to rescue its embattled image?

Produced and Narrated by Gregory Warner
