FrackNation follows journalist Phelim McAleer as he faces gun threats, malicious 911 calls and bogus lawsuits when questioning green extremists for the truth about fracking. Fracking is going to make America one of the world's leading energy producers and has become the target of a concerted campaign by environmentalists who want it banned. In FrackNation McAleer travels across the USA and Europe to uncover the science suppressed by environmental activists and ignored by much of the media. He talks with scientists and ordinary Americans who live in fracking areas and who tell him the truth behind the exaggerations and misrepresentations of anti-fracking activists.

| New York PostKyle SmithMcAleer is an expert practitioner of cinematic jujitsu. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonFrackNation starts from a bogus and willfully cordoned off point-of-view, and exhibits a desire to grind axes more than uncover truth. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMore than anything, FrackNation underscores the sheer complexity of a process that offers a financial lifeline to struggling farmers. |
| Movies.comChristopher CampbellIts strongest and most interesting case against Gasland is not so much with refute of its claims as with address of its impact and what this says about modern journalism. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenA one-sided attack piece like FrackNation doesn't add much to the conversation. |
| New York Daily NewsMiriam BaleWith many of McAleer's facts coming from casual Internet searches (backed by boring shots of the computer screen), the accuracy of this crowd-sourced documentary - funded by small donations on Kickstarter - seems as reliable as a Wikipedia entry. |
| User ReviewPaul SAnyone who has any appreciation and concern for bucollic upstate New York and Pennsylvannia (and the lives of people who reside there) should see this film. |
| User ReviewMargy WLoved Phelim McAleer's honest way of interviewing.... entertaining and factual. I'm a nature lover and spend a good bit of time in the countryside, so it was of particular interest. An unusually enjoyable movie for a documentary. I recommend it for all ages of Americans. |
| User ReviewJames EFinally fact based journalism backed by evidence. Pleasing to the eye and mind. Words are words but words with evidence is truth. We can always deny the truth and kill the messenger as we see with the political press of today. Great job sorting out evidence. I am now an informed supporter of fracking. |
| User ReviewDon BThough (as with Gasland) there is clearly a point of view expressed by the maker of this film, at least he doesn't take as many liberties as Fox does with the facts. A pretty successful presentation of the other side of the story, and a good job exposing some of the deceptions in Fox's film. |
