What the frak? This 2010 Josh Fox documentary takes a clear and harsh look at “fracking,” the still-controversial method of extracting natural gas from deep beneath the ground, via a hydraulic drilling process involving water, pressure and chemicals. It’s a cocktail that’s proven lucrative for such companies as Halliburton – and questionable for those worried about the environment. One homeowner, whose local ground water has been compromised by the fracking process, turns on the tap at his kitchen sink – and lights the resulting stream of water on fire.
