FREE film screening: Power Up: Fracking in the UK

7pm-9:30pm

YMCA ICC, 61B Mansfield Rd, Nottingham

Organised by Frack Free Nottinghamshire

Power Trip: Fracking in the UK takes us onto the frontlines of UK resistance in the battle to stop the controversial energy extraction process known as fracking. Follow grandmothers who set up a campaign group (Lancashire Nanas) and teamed up with younger activists (Reclaim the Power) to shut down the fracking sites of Cuadrilla. Blackpool (Lancashire) and Balcombe (West Sussex) have become the frontline of Fracking resistance as trucks are occupied and gates are blocked. The film explores how social media is being used by both fracking companies and activists. Hear from energy experts, journalists and key politicians as well as the voices of local residents and councillors. Followed by a Q&A session. https://bit.ly/2HSt1Z4
