Today our guest is Annie Ersinghaus, independent documentary filmmaker. Her recent documentary, The Land of Sacrifice: The Burden of New Mexico's Oil and Gas Extraction, is an environmental documentary that explores the oil and gas crisis unfolding in the state of New Mexico. As oil and gas production rapidly expands in NM, the film explores the severe and disproportionate impacts on marginalized, low income, and Indigenous communities in rural Northwestern and Southeastern parts of the state. The conversation also explores how we think in terms of the benefits of short term gain while pushing off the long term costs. We touch on the recent "Jupiter Project" - a plan to build a giant data center in Santa Teresa, NM. We talked about how she and her peers think and feel about what's happening in this state, our country, and our world.
 | Her documentary - The Land of Sacrifice: The Burden of New Mexico's Oil and Gas Extraction - will screen at The Fountain Theatre in Mesilla, NM on Saturday, October 11 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. The screening features a Q and A with individuals who appear in the documentary. Link to the trailer of the film: https://vimeo.com/1119557228 Annie's email: [email protected] |
