Split Estate with Shift Across America

Coolidge Corner Theater
Brookline, MA

Split Estate (Environmental Issues Spotlight) Documentary Dir/Prod.: Debra Anderson The Emmy-nominated Split Estate maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities, and their health. Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company drills for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine watching your loved ones get sick, your neighbors move away, or your family's burial-grounds desecrated. Imagine having no recourse other than to accept an unregulated industry in your backyard or to move from your rightful home. Or check out Split Estate, and see for yourself.
