Frackman (2015)

In the heart of Queensland, Australia, where over 30,000 'fracked' wells are set to thrust the country into the spotlight as the globe's top gas exporter, Frackman unveils the stirring journey of Dayne Pratzky, an unexpected hero. Once a conservative pig-shooter, Dayne is thrust into a world of corporate giants and unyielding industrial landscapes as international gas companies descend upon his land. With no legal power to resist the mining on his property, he finds himself at the core of a monumental struggle. As the narrative unfolds, we witness Dayne's transformation from a simple rural man to the sophisticated global activist known as the Frackman. His fight against the encroaching gas industry brings together an unlikely coalition of farmers, activists, and political conservatives, all drawn into the battle by a shared sense of injustice. As Dayne navigates this war of ideologies and stakes, he experiences love, encounters tragedy, and savours moments of triumph. Through his journey, Frackman provides a riveting exploration of an ordinary man who rises to battle extraordinary circumstances, painting a vivid picture of a land and a community on the brink of industrial invasion.

Frackman is a documentary movie featuring Dayne Pratzky and directed by Richard Todd.
