Since last fall, when Split Estate aired on Planet Green, the film has been making waves across the country.

The issue of fracking (hydraulic fracturing for natural gas—the focus of the film) has gained serious traction in the news and in the eyes of politicians in areas close to natural gas reserves.

And the filmmakers who produced the powerful documentary are still going strong in their efforts to raise awareness about and fight against the dangerous practice.

Split Estate is part of the Reel Power Film series, which has a few ideas for how people can help—and that includes organizing home screenings of the film.

The series chooses a different film to highlight each month, and the month for Split Estate is January. So the time is now to order the film, invite some friends, and join the battle against fracking.
