Product Overview

Flammable water, mysterious illnesses, ruined land: coal-seam-gas mining has some pretty nasty associations. A recent documentary that looks at what fracking is doing to rural Queensland communities provides many opportunities for students to investigate both this important environmental issue and the film itself, writes Kath Dooley.
