An award-winning film about Colorado's oil and gas wars

Fracking the System is a political thriller documentary from the front lines of climate justice activism in Colorado. When a fracking mega-site gets moved from a White neighborhood to a BIPOC neighborhood, a concerned mother fights to try and stop it. She embarks on a journey that exposes the harms of fracking, the lengths to which the government is complicit with industrial pollution, and the nefarious tactics the oil and gas industry uses to undermine democratic elections.

 

It’s part of a giant wave of movements. These waves come and go, but they continue to come. I want this film to be a representation of waves in the past, and also an inspiration for waves in the future.
