Summary
The environmental problems caused by fracking in America have been well publicized but what’s less known are the gas industry’s plans for expansion in other countries. This investigation, filmed in Botswana, South Africa, Alaska and North America, reveals how fracking plants are quietly invading some of the most protected places on the planet—including Africa’s national parks.
