Synopsis:
Fracking the System is an inspiring, investigative documentary about climate justice activism in Colorado and the nefarious tactics of the oil and gas industry to undermine democracy, from leveraging environmental racism to racketeering. When a mega-fracking site gets moved from a White neighborhood to a BIPOC neighborhood, a mother fights to try and stop it. She joins the state-wide effort to change the law, but the powerful oil and gas industry fights back with lawsuits, harassment, sabotage, and $50 million.

This movement is about a lot more than fracking.
Our planet and ecosystems are under extreme pressure from the impacts of human civilization and our reliance on fossil fuels. We must dramatically shift our society or we will see even worse enviromental impacts. We are already on course for 2 DEGREES of warming which will be absolutely catastrophic. Any fossil fuels we continue to extract or consume is going to have certain harmful impacts on CURRENT and future generations.
