New Corrib Gas Documentary

This video represents the many people not given a voice in the mainstream media.
This video represents the many people not given a voice in the mainstream media.
They have been denied a voice mainly because of their dissenting views about the Corrib gas project in its current form.
There are interviews with many people who have suffered both personally and financially for daring to oppose the oil and gas industry.
This industry has been supported by the various intimidatory and violent methods used by the Garda.
The mainstream media has consistently misrepresented the facts, and has failed to report human rights abuses taking place in Mayo.
It has instead tried to demonise anybody who goes against their neo-liberal view-point on how Ireland should be organized and structured.
Most of the interviews were filmed over the last month.
Thanks to all of the people who generously gave up their time and energy to make this no budget documentary.
This is the first part of an ongoing documentary about the Corrib Gas Project.
