Tracy Basile and Scott Halfmann (WeAreChange Westchester), produced a 12-minute documentary: The Unfractured Future about hydro-fracking in New York State in which Native American voices are brought to the forefront of this urgent issue.
“The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “fracking” or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a “Saudia Arabia of natural gas” just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.”
The films will be followed by a short talk and Q&A with Scott Halfmann (Unfractured Future’s film maker) ending with a round table disscusion on the subject of Hydro fracking.
