Split Estate
"Imagine discovering that an oil company has the right to mine the mineral resources beneath your home and moreover, that they plan to drill for gas just 200 feet from your front door. This is the shocking reality for many Rock Mountain residents who have found they have no recourse to protect their land and homes from such development. Debra Anderson tells the tragic story of oil and gas development in this region and offers a poignant call for real alternatives."
"The World Television Premier of Split Estate will be on October 17 as part of the Reel Impact series on Planet Green, a network of Discovery Communications. Reel Impact is the new Saturday night documentary block, which premieres on Planet Green on September 12th. It will air at 8PM EDT, 7PM CDT, 6PM MDT and 5PM PDT, (which will repeat the following Thursday, at 11PM EDT,10PM CDT,9PM MDT, 8PM PDT.)"
H2OIL
"The majority of the oil used in America doesn't come from Saudi Arabia or Iraq. Instead, the majority of the oil imported into the US comes from the Alberta Oil Sands in Canada. Extracting oil from this region is a difficult, resource-intensive, process. One barrel of oil requires four barrels of fresh water and, increasingly, this fresh water is becoming a valuable commodity itself. H2OIL tells the story of the people fighting to protect Alberta's water resources."
