GROUNDSWELL RISING
Protecting our Children’s Air & Water
“This film should be watched by everyone on the side of industry and those considering leasing their land to the gas companies. Plain and simply, it’s the human side of this debate. ” — Mark Ruffalo
This Insightful documentary from Emmy Award-winning Resolution Pictures captures the passion of people engaged in a David verses Goliath confrontation. They stand together, challenging a system that promotes profit over health.
Infusing human rights, public health, and social justice into a deeply engaging, feature length documentary film, Groundswell Rising empowers viewers to make a difference in their communities. Through candid interviews and true stories, Groundswell Rising brings us into the lives of people directly impacted by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and those on the front lines, dedicated to stopping this form of gas extraction.
We meet parents, scientists, artists, teachers, clergy, community organizers, and business leaders who are convinced that this controversial form of gas extraction is a serious health and environmental risk. Driven by a deep moral conviction, we see how they are standing up to one of the world’s most powerful industries.
Groundswell Rising brings together dynamic leaders in the movement–from all sides of the political spectrum–to protect our communities, educate the public, and inspire action.
The leaders whose powerful voices we hear in the film:
The resistance to fracking is seen as part of a growing movement towards dealing with the climate crises and making the transition to sustainable energy. The film shows how an industry rich with political connections managed to slip into a position of almost untouchable power and how at-risk communities have come together to fight back. Groundswell Rising is a story told by those who are living it, with honesty, passion, and a sincere desire to protect our children and the world we leave them.
