A FRACTURED STATE tells the story of the high-stakes battle to protect land, water and health in Western Australia from the unconventional gas industry and fracking. The film was made in 2016 to help raise awareness of fracking and unconventional gas in WA and the Lock the Gate campaign.

You will be able to talk with the film-maker Jane Hammond after the film.

"Dayne Pratzky loved the quiet life on his rural block in central Queensland. Then the gas company arrived, and everything changed.

Legally Dayne couldn’t stop them mining his land, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t fight. So began a David and Goliath battle. Along the way he found love, tragedy and triumph.

This is a must see movie for anyone concerned about protecting our water, farm land and communities from the invasive unconventional gas industry".

As the unconventional gas industry gears up to invade Western Australia, this shocking movie serves as a wake up call to us all.

Our drinking water sources are already at risk from fracking, and gas exploration licenses exist in Wanneroo shire and the Swan Valley.

BRUNSWICK Junction is about to become the latest community in WA to declare itself Gasfield Free. The declaration will be a huge community celebration on November 6, 11.30am Channel Park, Brunswick Junction.

HELP Protect the places we love. If you are in the south west then please come to an information meeting & film night Wednesday November 2 in North Boyanup.
