Jen Slotterback was hiking in her favorite park when she found signs of surveying for industrial gas drilling, or fracking. She went home and told her husband Jim, and although the two had never been actively involved in the issue of gas drilling, they immediately began a campaign to save the park. The board that controlled the park was set to vote on whether to drill in the park in 11 days. The story of the Slotterback's journey of those 11 days is the subject of this film.

Two People Made a Difference

When Jen Slotterback found a well pad stake in her local park in Pennsylvania, she realized the forest would soon be taken over by a natural gas drilling -- that is the toxic and destructive process of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

"What can we do? We can't just go about our life as usual and let this happen."

The board that governs the park was about to vote in only 11 days on whether to permit fracking.

She and her husband acted quickly to get their message out to the community - gathering over 4,000 signatures in that short amount of time.

Result? The board unanimously voted against the drilling.

Now the Slotterbacks and Responsible Drilling Alliance (RDA) are campaigning to save more than 700,000 acres of forest throughout Pennsylvania from fracking.
