Fracking the System: Colorado's Oil and Gas Wars

About This Movie

Fracking the System: Colorado's Oil and Gas Wars dives deep into the tense climate justice battles unfolding in Colorado. It’s a raw, gritty doc that captures the struggle of a mother up against a fracking mega-site being thrust into her BIPOC neighborhood after it was originally planned for a more affluent area. The atmosphere is thick with urgency and desperation as you see how the community rallies against corporate interests. The pacing is relentless, moving from personal stories to broader implications of environmental racism. What stands out here is the realness of the interviews, not the polished, rehearsed soundbites you often find. It's a vital piece that sheds light on the intersections of social justice and environmental policy.
