Home is a Sacrifice Zone premieres 65th Cork Film Festival November 13

This is the story of how a border community took on the oil and gas fracking industry in 2011 and is still making a difference ten years later. Filmed by Johnny Gogan over this period and in New York and Pennsylvania in March just before the lockdown, the film includes over 40 contributions from the people on both sides of the Atlantic involved in the story of how Ireland banned fracking and of the key work still going on today to stop the companies getting a foothold on the island of Ireland. Steve Wickham provides a powerful score and Niall Flynn’s aerial photography captures that landscape people were so keen to protect.
