Fracktopia

****Winner of a Michigan Emmy Award****
The techniques of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and horizontal drilling have come together over the past decade to change the American energy landscape. Now more and more researchers are looking into the potential risks the technologies could pose to the environment and human health. This documentary includes a visit to Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania -- one of the earliest epicenters of shale gas drilling.

Industry experts and residents who live near shale gas drilling operations were interviewed, as well as University of Michigan researchers who are involved in the U-M Graham Institute for Environmental Sustainability's integrated assessment on hydraulic fracturing (http://graham.umich.edu/ia/hydraulic-fracturing.php) as the practice pertains to the state of Michigan.
