The first screening in a UK tour of this inspiring, thought-provoking and timely film about fracking and resistance to it. The film – made by Undercurrents – focusses on mass protests in Lancashire and covers Balcombe in Sussex too. It questions not just the industry but the effect on democracy when local voices are over-ridden by national policy-makers. With unconventional oil and gas exploration threatening the Weald and an energy company attempting legal action could silence Sussex/Surrey environment defenders this film will spark an interesting Q/A afterwards.
