Fracknation
FrackNation is a feature documentary created by Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, which claims to address what the filmmakers say is misinformation about the process of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking.
Background
The directors' past films include Not Evil Just Wrong, which challenges Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth by suggesting that the evidence of global warming is inconclusive and that the impact global-warming legislation will have on industry is much more harmful to humans than beneficial.
Another film, Mine Your Own Business(2006), about a goldmine project in Romania was partly funded by the Gabriel Resources Canadian mining company behind it.
People
McAleer and McElhinney say they are independent journalists working independently of corporate funding.
The San Francisco Chronicle describes McAleer as 'climate denial's Michael Moore'. The climate change-denying Heartland Institute lists both McAleer and McElhinney as 'experts'. [1]
