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.
