Cohen, Renard. Groundswell Rising. Fogelsville, PA: Resolution Pictures, 2014. HD, 80 min. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1cpCz0QPMso.
Groundswell Rising gives voice to ordinary folks engaged in a David and Goliath struggle against Big Oil and Gas. We meet parents, scientists, doctors, farmers and individuals across the political spectrum resisting the energy extraction process of fracking, which puts profits over people. It reveals how fracking has contaminated drinking water and jeopardized the health and quality of life of homeowners and industry workers alike. This provocative documentary tracks a grassroots movement driven by a deep moral conviction which is exposing dangers to clean air, water, and civil rights.(Source: Adapted from the Official Film Website)
