The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe?
When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire.
See why the Washington Post says, "On the want-to-see- scale, GASLAND tops the list." And why Variety calls Gasland, ""...one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years." Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.
