Can you imagine being able to light your tap water on fire? This is just one of the many shocking results due to the natural gas drilling boom which has swept the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology called hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" has unlocked a "Saudi Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown. Josh Fox encounters EPA whistleblowers, congressmen, world recognized scientists, and some of the most incredibly inspiring and heart-wrenching stories of ordinary Americans fighting against fossil fuel giants for environmental justice.

It is completely crazy, Ridwan! The people are taking a lot of shit from these monsters. It reminds me of the monster that ate everything story in this region, only to have made the mistake of eating coyote, who used stone knives to dig his way out of the belly of the beast and save all the animals inside the thing. We need a coyote to kill the monster before the monster kills everything.
