As extreme weather intensifies, a new generation of leaders rises to confront the power of Big Oil. This Is Not a Drill follows three frontline advocates—from Memphis to Louisiana to Texas—as they rally communities, expose hidden pollution, and challenge the fossil fuel industry’s “Big Con.” Supported by unexpected allies, including descendants of John D. Rockefeller, their grassroots fight reveals how courage and determination can stand up to one of the world’s most powerful industries.
