The documentary "Shadow of Fracking" and later the situation of fracking projects that threaten the region of Murcia will be explained, and also the region in which Pliego is located (near the Aquarium permission).
"Shadow of fracking" (2012) is a Spanish documentary by Dani Love and Rosa Martinez, and serves as fracking is coming to our country without the authorities clearly inform the permissions being granted, and without people be aware of the serious risks of this technique.
