Lyons and Dorota Swies, from a screenplay by Lyons and Kelsey Goldberg.[1] It stars Adrienne Barbeau and Marc Blucas as the respective heads of two neighboring farm families in the rural United States. When one of the families leases their land to a natural gas company, the resulting fracking releases a force that threatens the lives of both families.[2][3] Alongside Barbeau and Blucas, the film's cast includes P. J. Marshall, Allison McAtee, Rachel McKeon, Monica Wyche, and Brooke Sorenson.[2]

Unearth premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival in August 2020.[2] It received a theatrical release on Earth Day, April 22, 2021.[1][4]
