Interesting documentary on the process of Fracking and its effects on the environment and the communities of the areas where the rigs are.

Probably more relevant in the states, but still a couple interesting documentaries to check out. There's been a lot of people attacking them with debunking efforts no doubt, but still interesting to watch. The documentary was nominated for an Academy Award.

Documentary can be found on Netflix and on amazon (.com, so not sure if it'll work how it should)

.

GasLand 2 was released recently, april I think and is also worth checking out.

Not sure where you can find this one, it was on HBO though.

While the lighting the tap water on fire is spectacular and makes for great film, it's been shown that fracking is definitely not the only cause of it, so keep that in mind before freaking out about it.

I figure anything that's somewhat negative about the oil and gas industry won't be received well here, but a few people will still find it interesting.

movie created some talk around the water coolers a couple years ago, but they didnt do themselves any favours if they were wanting to actually be taken seriously.
