Bottled Life - Nestlé's business with the water is a documentary from the year 2012 by Urs Schnell .
content
The Swiss journalist Res Gehriger is looking for traces of the drinking water business around the world . In various countries, the supply of drinking water to the population is not guaranteed by the state. The use of groundwater and the legal situation of the use conditions are different in the countries visited. The food company Nestlé , whose head office is in Vevey , Switzerland , is taking advantage of these facts and is steadily increasing its business with bottled drinking water (under the brands Poland Spring , Pure Life , S. Pellegrino , and others, see also Nestlé water brands ). The film shows that Nestlé refused to comment on the grounds that it was "wrong film at wrong time".
