WORLD PREMIERE
The Patagonia region of Argentina is known for its stunning landscapes and famous wines. But it also harbors a dark secret: the site of one of the world’s largest shale oil and gas reserves. While oil companies reap record-breaking profits, the people living here suffer from the impacts of fracking, ignored by both Argentinian and global media. This is Fracking reveals the real story behind fracking in Patagonia, the one we have not yet been shown.
