Fort Worth DFW-ALTA Luncheon

DFW-ALTA invites you to join us for a special screening of the documentary Breaking Free-The Shale Rock Revolution

Film Description:

Breaking Free is a new documentary about the drive toward American energy independence. The film was directed by Robin Bossert and produced by Chris Faulkner and Ann Stephenson.

The focus of the film is on the Shale Rock Revolution, and how hydraulic fracturing has affected the local, state and national communities at large. Its goal is to lower the temperature on the heated discussion about hydraulic fracturing which is being fueled by both sides of the issue.

Breaking Free introduces the subject of hydraulic fracturing, enhanced by stories of the people living in the towns, sharing the good and the bad, with the goal of informing and educating in a nonpartisan way the benefits of becoming energy independent in our lifetimes. An estimated 20 percent of all the nation's oil and gas reserves reside on tribal lands. One of the side stories of this film is the affect that fracking has had on the Native American community.

Hydraulic fracturing is a rich source of domestic energy.  It’s time to build the right kind of energy infrastructure for the future.  It’s time to lower greenhouse emissions the smart way without wrecking the economy. It’s time for independence!
