The film highlights the region-wide effort to halt major new fracked gas infrastructure, a fight that continues with the GTN Xpress fracked gas pipeline capacity expansion proposal in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
Following the film, producers Darren Moore and Benita Moore will join a panel including local activists to discuss the Tacoma LNG controversy and the campaign to stop GTN Xpress.
