Fracking is Dangerous: The High Cost of Cheap Gas
Natural Gas development has come to Southern Africa. This ground-breaking project uncovers how the oil and gas industry is quietly invading one of the most pristine places on the planet. Reserves and national wildlife parks are not safe from these developments, which threaten the existence of Africa’s last remaining traditional people and wildlife. In this film we bring the voices of the scientists, experts and people opposing un-abated oil and gas development in the USA to Southern Africa so that the region’s natural wealth may be protected for generations to come by the best scientific data available. Deep in the Kalahari desert our team filmed secret hy-draulic fracturing (fracking) operations across the migration routes of Africa’s largest single elephant population. 44,000 elephants pass between Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and Chobe National Park in Botswana. The migration route is a tenuous and delicate string of sweet-waterpans in the dry desert. We have evidence and undercover interviews of newly fracked gas wells already endangering these ancient elephant routes.
