Come along to watch the newly-released film about fracking right here in the UK! This film is only a couple of weeks old, and takes you to the front lines of UK resistance in the battle to stop the controversial energy extraction process known as Fracking.

The one-hour film follows campaign groups Lancashire Nanas and Reclaim the Power as they shut down the Fracking sites near Blackpool and Balcombe, Sussex by occupying trucks and blocking gates.
