Another opportunity to see Frackman, part of the Green Mountain Film Festival, this Sunday 3/27 at 2:00!
Showing will be at the Pavilion Building in Montpelier (109 State Street Montpelier.)
Buy tickets for this and all GMFF films at 54 Main Street (across from City Hall, next to Pho Thai Express). http://www.gmffestival.org/ Frackman tells the story of accidental activist Dayne Pratzky and his struggle against international gas companies Australia will soon become the world’s biggest gas exporter as more than 30,000 wells are sunk in the state of Queensland where Dayne lives, with many requiring controversial “fracking.” He and his neighbours have unwittingly become the centre of a massive industrial landscape and they have no legal right to stop mining on their land.
Dayne ambarks on a journey that transforms him from conservative pig-shooter to sophisticated global activist as the Frackman. He meets the people drawn into a battle that is crossing the ideological divide, bringing together a peculiar alliance of farmers, activists and political conservatives. Along the way Dayne encounters love, tragedy, and triumph.
