Description of “Worst Case Scenario”:
Directed by Glynis Whiting, 43 min, 2001
This documentary looks at the risks of a proposed sour gas well near Clearwater River, in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Farmers and landowners all share concerns. Residents opposed to the well fear a deadly hydrogen sulphide leak. Shell Canada says it must drill to meet energy needs. When mediation talks break down, both sides anxiously await a ruling from Alberta’s Energy and Utilities Board.

Join us for a panel discussion following the screening with Maureen Carter-Whitney, Research Director, CIELAP, and Ramani Nadarajah, Counsel, CELA.

Green Screens partners films from the NFB with experts and panellists selected by the Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy. If you are interested in the environment, Green Screens will entertain and inform you.

CIELAP receives support from the RBC Blue Water Project for Green Screens.
