They have written and produced the political documentaries FrackNation, Not Evil Just Wrong, and Mine Your Own Business, as well as The Search for Tristan's Mum and Return to Sender.

McAleer, who is from Beragh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland and who is a former student of the National Council for the Training of Journalists course at the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education, began his journalism career by accepting a position at the Crossmaglen Examiner a local Northern Ireland newspaper in County Armagh, an area where the IRA operated.
McElhinney has worked as a journalist and filmmaker in the US, Canada, Romania, Bulgaria, Chile, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Ghana and Uganda.
[7] FrackNation is a feature documentary that claims to address misinformation about the process of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking.
While Fox was promoting his film project McAleer confronted him about the historical record of people being able to ignite natural gas coming from their water taps.
McAleer told the Los Angeles Times:He knew that people could light their water for decades before fracking started.
McAleer said there has been no real debate on the issue, with the environmental lobby relying on emotion and scare tactics to condemn fracking.
Though the filmmakers wanted to avoid appearing pro-industry, according to the interviewer, trailers from the film "play rather like industry commercials ... of farmers and landowners who say gas drilling provides economic stability".

The murder charges related to a patient who died while under his care and seven newborns said to have been killed after being born alive during attempted abortions.
