Marty Luster, Ken Zeserson, and Judy Abrams will facilitate the Q & A after the film, and discuss regional gas drilling concerns, and what you can do about it.

Split Estate is a multiple-award-winning documentary which examines the conflicts between land owners in the western U.S. and those who own and extract the energy and mineral rights below.

FREE and open to all. Handicap accessible. Parking in the Fire Hall lot and along Main St (Rte 96), but please do not block any of the firehouse doors (both front and rear of the building). We are all volunteers, so donations are appreciated.

Watch Rural Impact!

By shirari, on December 2nd, 2008%

Rural Impact! What to Expect from the Gas Industry and How to Address It is a documentary exploring the impacts of natural gas development in Colorado on communities, the environment and public health. Directed by Aurielle Andhara and Bill Sitkin, the film includes in-depth interviews with county officials, scientists and residents and strives to find a balance between the needs of the environment and the demands of a society reliant on non-renewable energy resources.

Shaleshock organized a public screening and discussion of Rural Impact! on October 9th 2008 at the Women’s Community Building in Ithaca, but you can watch the film in six parts via YouTube below.
