Please note: This was screened in Oct 2014

This award-winning independent South African feature documentary investigates fracking in the United States - the technology's place of origin - in order to understand what fracking could mean for the semi-arid Karoo and other countries who are considering its implementation. The film covers the extensive journey that took Karoo-born director, Jolynn Minnaar, 18 months of research - over 400 interviews; traveling across South Africa, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom; battling gag orders and no trespassing zones; losing cameras to extreme heat and subzero temperatures and suffering first hand chemical exposure from drilling sites - to get to the bottom of the controversial topic.

Followed by a Q&A with Unearthed's director Jolynn Minnaar.
