Precious

TAPPED documents how the bottle water industry is wrecking havoc on the environment and examines the role of the bottled water industry and its' effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil. Bottled water doesn't just come from your grocery store. It comes from small towns across America where citizens argue their way of life and ecosystem have been disrupted as a result of corporations coming in and claiming ownership of the public's water supply. With only 20% of bottled water containers recycled in the U.S., every day Americans dump 30 million single-serve plastic water bottles into landfills. Because of America's poor recycling rate, much of our plastic ends up in the Pacific Ocean. Specifically in an area known as Plastic Stew - an area twice the size of Texas where the ration of plastic to plankton is 46:1. TAPPED highlights how everyday heroes have taken on the fight for our most precious resource - water.

'Precious' Jones (Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe) is a high-school girl with nothing working in her favor. She is pregnant with her father's child - for the second time. She can't read or write, and her schoolmates tease her for being fat. Her home life is a horror, ruled by a mother (Mo'Nique) who keeps her imprisoned both emotionally and physically. Precious's instincts tell her one thing: if she's ever going to break from the chains of ignorance, she will have to dig deeply into her own resources.

Based on the 50 year old best-selling book, The Littlest Angel tells the story of a small angel who simply can't get with the program, no matter how hard he tries.

When it comes time for Jesus to be born on Earth, the Littlest Angel gives his precious box to the Baby, but he's worried that God will think his gift too humble. But God is pleased indeed, and transforms the box into the Star of Bethlehem.
