Facing Down the Fossils: Rise Up

The gas industry’s quest for profit is running into resistance from people in the path of new fossil fuel projects. Proposals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals that send U.S. methane to other countries are igniting activism across the country. One former oil-and-gas worker is fighting the industry’s plans from his backyard on the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

“Facing Down the Fossils” is a series about the people who are dealing with generational consequences of the pollution and economic damage caused by the fossil fuel industry and who now face the prospect of even more fossil fuel projects in the United States. In response, these communities are not only standing up to wrongdoing but also leading the effort to advance clean energy production. The project takes viewers to these communities to hear from the people who have dedicated themselves to fighting injustice in opposition to governments and multinational organizations. In the process, the episodes reveal what has been lost, what can be saved, and what might be gained in these vibrant neighborhoods, communities, and ecosystems.

This is the first episode of the four-part “Facing Down the Fossils” series, a co-production of Nexus Media News and Peril and Promise, a public media initiative from The WNET Group.
