Format:DVD
Hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) has left a trail of devastation across vast swathes of the USA. This stylish documentary shows the full scale of the menace.
As the frackers start their pursuit of short term profit in the UK and Europe, at immeasurable long term cost, this DVD could be real life saver.
Well-informed about the big picture, yet personal and intimate, this is a unique piece of film-making. I think the Academy bottled giving it the Oscar that it deserves.

oh my goodness, i had never heard of fracking - until i heard a piece about it on radio 4 - (hooray for them).
it was so interesting, that it prompted me to research a bit more, and i found GASLAND.
it hardly seems possible that this is going on in america, the devastation it causes is not only awful on a visual level, but crucially it is the impact on people's health and wildlife that is heartbreaking. i can't understand how it's been allowed to happen. in terms of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, what are they doing? have they all gone deaf, dumb and blind? where is the protection for the people?
megacorporations will hack, frack and whack whatever needs to be done to get their buck, so however galling it's not surprising
(a bit incredible i guess) but everyone else: hello......is there anybody out there?
see this film, because it will amaze and astound you, it will also inform you and prepare you.
last i heard, fracking is coming to the uk. forewarned is forearmed.
if we have the information and don't do anything to stop it, then we deserve all we get.
see this film because the planet deserves better.
see this film because you can tell other people about it.
see this film for a million reasons, but mostly because it must to be seen.
