LEAKED SCRIPT FOR MATT DAMON’S ANTI-FRACKING MOVIE CONFIRMS ‘CRAZY PLOT TWIST’ RUMORS

The makers of “FrackNation” — the pro-fracking documentary that’s a response to what the filmmakers believe is misinformation spread by other documentaries, like Josh Fox’s “Gasland” — have been calling out the position of another film being made about the process that extracts natural gas from shale rock.

Director of “FrackNation” Phelim McAleer, wrote in a guest post for TheBlaze last month the film “Promise Land,” written by actors Matt Damon and Jon Krasinski who also appear in it, portrays “oil and gas companies [as] evil and [...] farmers who allow fracking on their land [as] fools.” The writers believe ”Promise Land” takes a balanced look at fracking and how it impacts the energy industry and farmers, many of whom are selling fracking rights on their land to companies.

Now, “FrackNation” has obtained the script from “Promise Land,” which they say on Facebook confirms the “crazy plot twist–where the environmentalist turns out to be working for the natural gas company.” Specifically, “FrackNation” calls attention to the segment of the script pictured below:
