Everyday we hear about the impacts of fracking as well as the need for gas and oil. In fact just today I heard a story on the radio about a family whose son was severely harmed by fracking chemicals in his bath. Films that tell these stories and bring them into the light in a thoughtful and human way are important. In the Hills and the Hollows does just that. By telling the stories of many families affected by not only fracking- but also by land use policies that remove people's rights to their own land - the film educates the audience about important issues.
More importantly though, it's just a well made film. Rather than preach about numbers, or facts, or policy, it brings us into people's lives in a way that makes us care. I very much appreciated this film.
