Fracking the System: Colorado's Oil and Gas Wars

Fracking the System: Colorado's Oil and Gas Wars (2024) is a documentary film directed by Brian Hedden.

Fracking the System is a political thriller documentary from the front lines of climate justice activism in Colorado. When a fracking mega-site gets moved from a White neighborhood to a BIPOC neighborhood, a concerned mother fights to try and stop it. This is an investigative exposé about the harms of fracking, the lengths to which the government is complacent with industrial pollution, and the nefarious tactics that the oil and gas industry uses to undermine democratic elections.
