ABOUT THE FILM
The documentary charts the boom of the Haynesville Shale natural gas formation in northwest Louisiana- which could be the world's largest - and profiles three local residents deeply impacted by a rush to extract energy from the earth. The film also explores the overall impact of the Haynesville on the nation's energy supply, and the find's role in charting a path to a cleaner and greener energy future.

And now for something completely different! A loving and meticulously-crafted tribute to 70's exploitation flicks like Shaft and Superfly, Black Dynamite is the story of a nunchuck-wielding expert in kung fu, romance, and disco dancing who leads a group of militants in an effort to rid their neighborhood of drug dealers. Outrageous and silly fun for anyone who misses the days when heroes wore polyester suits.
"Black Dynamite blends satire, nostalgia, and cinema deconstruction into a one-of-a-kind comedy high." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
