Summary
"Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is a new technology that has opened up immense resources of natural gas buried in deep shale beds. Some see it as the answer to the energy crisis and a chance at energy independence. But fracking is an incredibly divisive issue ripping apart communities. The backlash is unprecedented, with states and countries adopting fracking bans. Is fracking bad? Or is it truly an unexpected gift of energy and jobs? This film looks past the rhetoric and emotional arguments to find the real issues involved, the opportunity, and the potential health and environmental issues."--Container.
