Set in West Virginia this Award Winning Feature that fuses testimonials of lamentation, defiance and resolve into the definitive anti-pipeline documentary. It is a scathing examination of fossil fuel infrastructure projects, hydraulic fracturing, climate change and use of Eminent Domain in the service of corporate profits. Citizens voice their opposition to interstate pipelines in the Virginias for the transport of fracked gas to export terminals, and abroad. Dwindling coal reserves and the fossil fuel industry’s transition to natural gas extraction through Hydraulic Fracturing, is an environmental threat to communities across the globe. In powerful, emotionally impactful stories we learn the connection between the global market for liquified gas, the corporate interests that stand to make huge profits, and the ordinary citizens left to pay the price. In the U.S., the Appalachian Basin is the resource from where industry plans to double production over the next ten years in defiance of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Massive Interstate gas pipelines are to cut across the Appalachian Basin moving gas from fracking fields to the East Coast & Gulf. The nations gas glut will likely be shipped abroad. Concerns over fracking and pipelines, their disruption of the land, water, air quality, property values, historic and cultural heritage, are voiced.
