In this newly released 41-minute video, we get a behind-the-scenes look at the turmoil and travesty of those ‘Dimocked’ by shale gas production, and the 9 square mile area of Pennsylvania that was once banned from further fracking.
Hear about the shortcomings of state and federal agencies in protecting Pennsylvania citizens’ Constitutional right to “pure water” while seeing many of the campaigners in action:

DESCRIPTION:
“Blowout: Who’s Next” tells the tale of fracking related pollution cases from many places in America. This video covers the water pollution case in Dimock Pennsylvania where people have now gone 14 years without clean water. Caught up in the fracking industry’s fight to keep these cases quiet or deny them altogether, residents of Dimock are still without clean water to their homes.

AK Productions Mission Statement:
“For the average American hoping to cast an informed vote in their own best interest, the field of possible news sources on which to base that vote is vast and confusing. In the monetized twenty four hour news cycle, journalists are often paid by the click. All of our mainstream media is owned by six corporations today, down from 50 in 1983. Politics and the economy have become such explosive, depressing topics, many of us tune out altogether to save our sanity. Around us we find uninformed Americans lost in the information age.
Honest journalism, not molded by profit margins is the only tool we have to address this breakdown. It’s the backbone of a strong democracy. To paraphrase Eisenhower, only an Alert and Knowledgeable citizenry can ensure the proper meshing of the interests of American corporations with the best interests of the American people.” Source
