‘Dear Governor Cuomo’ is a concert protest film aimed at influencing New York state’s decision to ban hydraulic fracturing - fracking - or adopt it. Featuring local activists including Mark Ruffalo, ‘Melissa Leo’, Natalie Merchant, Pete Seeger, Citizen Cope and scientists like Sandra Steingraber, the film - a blend of ‘The Last Waltz’ and ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ lays out the science and facts behind the decision and encourages the governor to join the anti-fracking majority in his state. Though focused on the issue in New York, the education, and incredible music, are relevant in the 34 states that already allow fracking. |
