Fracking Stories is new compilation of six short documentaries that expose the public health and environmental consequences of hydraulic fracturing, and the ways that communities are coming together to protect their land and water.
The series will launch in North Carolina, which lifted a moratorium on fracking last year. Events will take place across the state from mid-May to mid-June in Wadesboro, Asheville, Durham, Fayetteville, Pembroke, Raleigh, Salisbury, Sanford, Wilmington, Pittsboro, and Winston Salem.
The films will be shown in Asheville on Tuesday, June 2nd, at 7pm at Ferguston Auditorium at AB Tech, 340 Victoria Rd. They are hosted by Mountain Peoples Assembly, Clean Water for North Carolina, and WNF Frack Free
The NC screening tour is co-presented by The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, Appalachian Voices, Clean Water for North Carolina, and Working Films.
If you live in another state, stay tuned. Fracking Stories will be showing in communities at risk of drilling in other parts of the country later this year.
