Gasland

2010 FESTIVAL
107 min.
Filmmaker: Josh Fox.
When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for natural gas drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey to learn about the Haliburtondeveloped process and toxic consequences of hydrofracturing, or “fracking.” In this award-winning film, Josh travels from his land in upstate New York, which sits on the same “Saudi Arabia” of natural gas reserves as Pennsylvania and West Virginia, to numerous other communities, documenting the devastating impacts of this rapidly spreading procedure on water supplies and health.
