"Promised Land" is rekindling discussion around fracking in the United States. In it, corporate salesmen arrive in a rural town hoping to close a deal to lease land there, but they find resistance from activists. It's a natural story to tell, because there's a lot of gray area for folks trying to decide what's best for their own community.
