What is fracking?

UPDATE: TRIPLE DIVIDE [REDACTED] JUST RELEASED BY BULLFROG FILMS

Triple Divide and TRIPLE DIVIDE [REDACTED] are the powerful stories produced by Public Herald of an 18-month and five-year investigation on fracking in Pennsylvania. Ultimately, there was one question that acted as our guide in this work, “How are the negative impacts from fracking being handled by regulators and industry?” Here you can read the reports that led to the documentary feature premier in March 2013, preview the film co-narrated by Mark Ruffalo, and learn more about fracking from exclusive stories published by Public Herald.

“Many films about fracking, either pro or con, tend to be a bit “attention grabbing and sensational,” not a bad thing if you are trying to get a point across, regardless of your take on the subject, because films are a message media rather than just a documentation of a scientific experience. Triple Divide and the recent Chasing Ice are films that document a scientific reality. I am very appreciative when a film “gets it right”, actually reports a scientific process or situation as it is, rather than grabs attention with an over the wall presentation or something that is fabricated. Short of Nova, Nature and Cosmos, I don’t often see straight science. That’s what Triple Divide gave the audience and why it is so devastating, because it is real.”

“Shows powerfully that the harms to drinking water continue, that regulation still does not perform its function…TRIPLE DIVIDE [REDACTED] is just-in-time education, a warning, and, once again, a call to action to accurately assess all the real costs of shale gas to Pennsylvanians and everybody downstream of the triple divide — yes, all of us.”
