Groundswell background

Groundswell

In a small Irish town on the border, residents unite to confront the threat of fracking, overcoming bureaucratic obstacles and reconciling historical rivalries to secure a more promising future.

Filmmaker Johnny Gogan learns about hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") from his sister in Pennsylvania. In 2011, the Irish Government awards an exploration licence to an Australian company, Tamboran Resources, to explore the border region where he lives for Shale Gas. The company is also licenced in the Northern Irish part of the gas-field.
