Groundswell Rising – Fracking film and discussion in Denver
September 9, 2014 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$10The Community Forum of First Universalist Church of Denver presents a screening followed by Q&A with Executive Producer Mark Lichty and a distinguished panel.
This film is a transcendent tale of epic proportions where ordinary people are making a choice to stand up and protect their communities and children’s future. Emmy Award-winning Resolution Pictures captures the passion and courage of people engaged in a David and Goliath confrontation. They stand together, challenging a system that promotes profit over health. We meet mothers, fathers, scientists, doctors, farmers and people from all sides of the political spectrum taking a hard stand against energy extraction techniques not proven to be safe. With the oil and gas industry’s thrust to expand fracking seen as a moral and civil rights issue, this provocative film documents a people’s movement, a groundswell rising.
The panel includes Wes Wilson, Ph.D., retired EPA scientist and whistleblower, Phil Doe, former Dept. of Interior official and whistleblower, Cliff Willmeng, R.N., anti-fracking activist, Gary Anderson, a water engineer, and others.
