    A must see documentary! Deeply troubling but also powerfully inspiring .

    As with many documentaries about the topic of fracking this one doesn't beat around the bush. There is an excellent story line that takes you on a journey through to the end of the film as you get to know Caleb and the path he walks.

    I really enjoyed the cinematography.

    After watching this film I felt a deep call to action. Also a re-evaluation of their own lives and how exactly they are an ally to the first nations.

    Very well done. If you live in BC or Alberta this film is ultra relevant to you. I give it 10/10 rating.

    Bottom line, GO SEE IT!

    Despite articulate and genuine message of lead Caleb Behn, spoiled by bogus facts

    Things were going great with this documentary until a number of persons with very bad records on telling falsehoods were marched in. What for example was the point in bringing in Josh Fox, director of the polemic "Gaslands," which has been cited for very serious falsehoods, even on outlets such as NPR? People like Fox do much more harm than good once their mendacity is understood. Fox's claim on flames from water taps in rural Pennsylvania was shown to exist 200 years before anyone did any fracking in rural Pennsylvania. why were there many incidents of flames coming from water taps for generations before any fracking -- or even oil drilling -- was done in NY, Colorado, Pennsylvania etc? In fact the first reports of water taps flaming was in 1795! There are plenty of people concerned about the environment. it is harmful to the message to throw in liars, 911 truthers and other nuts ruining what would otherwise be an very effective film
