This month Ocean Night will be featuring a screening of Last Rush for the Wild West – Tar Sands, Oil Shale and the American Frontier (2014) . Last Rush for the Wild West – Tar Sands, Oil Shale and the American Frontier (2014) Last Rush for the Wild West – Tar Sands, Oil Shale and the American Frontier, exposes how impending tar sands and oil shale mining would destroy massive landscapes in Utah and put the already imperiled Colorado River Watershed at risk. It would jeopardize drinking water quality and quantity for thirty-six million people downstream. It would increase air pollution in Salt Lake City, where air quality is already the worst in the Nation. The health risks are staggering. This film asserts that the risks are not worth it, while refuting claims that tar sands and oil shale mining would create better economic conditions and lead our nation toward energy independence. Last Rush raises the collective voices of Utah citizens as they call on their neighbors downstream to join them in the fight to prevent it. – Official Facebook Trailer: vimeo/104267917
