Controversial Filmmakers Announce Crowdfunding Campaign for Documentary to "Expose the Truth about Fracking"

Press Release

"FrackNation" investigates the alarming and apparently misleading claims made about fracking, and looks at the benefits the process can bring to some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and across the planet.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Controversial filmmakers Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer announced a crowdfunding campaign today for their new documentary, FrackNation.
The feature-length film looks at the process of fracking for natural gas, demolishing much of the scaremongering surrounding the process and featuring the millions whose lives have been positively transformed by this emerging industry. FrackNation investigates the health claims surrounding the process, and reveals the startling lack of scientific evidence to substantiate them.
Controversially, McAleer and McElhinney are fundraising for FrackNation on Kickstarter.com.
"Normally, Kickstarter projects are pro-radical environmentalism," said McAleer. "FrackNation will be the first documentary funded through Kickstarter to challenge the environmental establishment. It will appeal to the workers and small farmers who know the truth, but never see it represented in modern documentaries."
