I came to the Newcastle premiere of Frackman as a bit of a novice on environmental issues and came away both educated and impressed.
From the opening topographic shots of farming fields accompanied by cool 60's music I knew I would probably enjoy this grassroots story.
The main character, Dwayne is not your stereotypical dread locked activist, but an average Aussie bloke caught in a battle with big business, similar in a way to the fictional battle represented in "The Castle". the difference being that this a compelling real issue that affects more than one person or one postcode. I would recommend this movie for anyone interested in environmental issues, and anyone wanting to be educated on the effects of coal seam gas mining
