Split Estate

This is a documentary movie about oil and gas drilling in the U. S. There is an ever increasing need for oil and gas production within America. Foreign oil has become too expensive and has helped to depress the economy. In the Rockies and the Northeast, there is a trend for drilling wherever oil and gas deposits can be found. This includes urban and suburban neighborhoods. This documentary takes a hard look at the consequences of the new surge in drilling. It highlights the health issues, the break up of communities and the horror of having a drilling rig right outside the front door.
