Phoenix Cinema, Leicester, UK
Post-screening panel discussion chaired by Simon Ward, presenter of BBC East Midlands Today, includes Deb Noakes of Leicestershire Against Onshore Drilling, Ambrose Musiyiwa of Civic Leicester and a representative of Frack Free Notts

Groundswell Rising brings us into the lives of people from all walks of life and all sides of the political spectrum who are dedicating themselves to resisting, slowing down or stopping fracking.

We meet parents, scientists, artists, teachers, clergy, community organizers and business leaders who are convinced that this unproven form of gas extraction is a serious health and environmental risk.

Driven by a deep moral conviction, we see how they are standing up to one of the world’s most powerful industries.

Screening in partnership with 'LeicesterShire Against Onshore Drilling', the film will be followed by a panel discussion around the issues raised by Groundswell Rising, and how it relates to Leicester and Leicestershire. The discussion will be chaired by Simon Ward, presenter of BBC East Midlands Today. Panel members will include Deb Noakes of Leicestershire Against Onshore Drilling, Ambrose Musiyiwa of Civic Leicester and a representative of Frack Free Notts.
