Leitrim-based director Johnny Gogan turns his attention to his own border-county surroundings where the fracking industry have been developing their interests for many years.
This community-based David and Goliath documentary, a useful companion to The Pipe, illustrates the commitment of local individuals and groups to preserving their environment and challenge the governmental pro-fossil fuel stance, as well as prompting discussion of sustainability and natural resources.
