GASLAND

Can you light your tap water on fire?

A new technique of Natural Gas Drilling pioneered by Halliburton is sweeping across the world-- The Americas, Asia, Europe and North Africa. The controversial technique is called Hydraulic Fracturing.

It injects millions of gallons of toxic chemicals underground - Gas Companies say it's safe, but all across the United States it has been going haywire.

It's not too late to find out the truth.

GASLAND is a powerful personal documentary that confronts these questions with spirit, strength, and an uncanny sense of humor.

When filmmaker Josh Fox is offered $100,000 to lease his land for drilling, he travels across 32 states tomeet other residents on the front lines of fracking. He discovers flammable streams, ruined aquifers, dying livestock, mysterious illnesses, and kitchen sinks that burst into flame. He learns that all water is connected and perhaps some things are more valuable than money.

Part verité travelogue, part exposé, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown, Josh and his banjo encounter government whistleblowers, congressmen, world recognized scientists, and some of the most incredibly inspiring and heartwrenching
stories of ordinary Americans fighting against fossil
fuel giants for environmental justice.
