In the film, McAleer presents an accredited cancer researcher explaining how the chemicals can cause cancer. The film looks at this claim as they don’t know what they are talking about, so they tries to disprove them. They used universities studies to knock this claim down. They came up with that broccoli contains chemicals that are similar to that claims about the chemicals in fracking.
The film Fracknation opposes the film gasland. This is because Fracknation is supporting fracking. The defends it by highlighting the positive aspects of the situation. Fracknation also has real live people explaining how it’s benefiting them and their life which is mostly farmers. This is because majority of the time farmers live in the country meaning that they’re source of living is from the original.
