Abstract
Frackman (FM) and Knitting Nannas (KN) are two documentaries about the anti-coal seam gas movement in Australia. Frackman (2015) features a former construction worker turned eco-activist Dayne Pratzky (DP) fighting coal seam gas extraction; and Knitting Nannas (2014) which follows a group of women also protesting this. In this article we set a challenge to environmental adult educationist to expose gender agendas embedded in environmental education documentaries. A scene-by-scene analysis of these two documentaries through a post-structuralist ecofeminist evaluation, reveals there are lessons to be learnt in the repetition of gender blindness in Frackman; whilst KN offers potential solutions for greater inclusivity in adult environmental education. The article concludes with recommendations for community-based approaches in environmental adult education.
