The Algarve region of southern Portugal has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, where tourists and locals flock each summer. In recent years, oil and gas companies with dubious histories of environmental destruction have acquired contracts to explore off the coasts. “Fracking the Contract” highlights the galvanizing, grassroots strategies of those leading the movement to challenge these corporations. These voices include Laurinda Seabra, a former oil executive turned whistle-blower from South Africa, Angela Rosa, a local farmer with generations of history in the region, and Joao Camargo, a climate justice expert leading the NGO “Climaximo”.
