Frackman (2015)

Frackman: Directed by Richard Todd. With Drew Hutton, Dayne Pratzky. The adventures of The Frackman and his filmmaker mate as they take on some of the biggest coal seam gas multi-nationals in the world.

“We watched Frackman at a screening in Sydney last night and were sufficiently motivated to go home and switch our power company to one that isnu0026#39;t involved in Coal Seam Gas in Australia. It just seemed the right thing to do. The film itself is not just another whining documentary. And it doesnu0026#39;t take itself so seriously as u0026#39;Gaslandu0026#39; for example. The style is quite different, although the subject is the same – how small land-holders are threatened by the extreme mining techniques of CSG extraction, and how it risks Australiau0026#39;s people, water table and land. It is often very funny; although this is a very serious subject and at times Frackman himself is moved to tears. The photography is excellent and the story itself rolls along at a cracking pace…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the end, the crowd in the cinema gave it a very well deserved round of applause. Absolutely recommended.”
