Stirring documentary about the struggle for the most important of all resources
Who does water belong to? In this country we only have to turn on the tap and we always have the best drinking water. Why do we still pay a lot of money for bottled water? "Bottled Life" reveals how corporations sell people water as an expensive lifestyle product by securing access to valuable sources worldwide. Journalist Res Gehriger follows Nestlé's trail and gives us a deep insight into the strategies of one of the most powerful players in the billion-dollar bottled water business.
"Bottled Life" is a stirring contribution to the current debate on the privatisation of water. Awarded the Herbert Quandt Media Award for business journalism.
