Description
Tired of watching Michigan's forests devastated by fracking as leaders refuse to act on climate change, four eco-minded students, a few seasoned activists, and some wildly creative locals stand together to say, "No more!",Once you've experienced the devastation of fracking, nothing but stopping it makes sense. After a year of well site visits and protests, four college student activists become determined to protect the people and the places they love.In the river-crossed northwoods of Michigan, Kate, Brett, Sonya, and Mark, mentored by their former professor Rebecca, keep watch as North American Energy (NorA) connects a corridor of frack well sites deep in the state forests. When NorA expands in unexpected directions and their awful, bigger plan becomes clear, the action begins.As grassroots activists gather and prepare to stop NorA's dangerous superfrac, stresses other than the fracturing of the bedrock appear. Sonya is arrested, Rebecca reveals her hidden past, and the one person who knows both women's stories arrives in camp. Love and solidarity want to win, even if most showdowns with Big Oil don't end well for those who take a stand.Suspenseful, poignant, and galvanizing, Land Marks is a tribute to the waterways that connect us, the land that sustains us, and the moments that inspire us to rise up together to say, "No more!"
