Josh Fox’s GASLAND is a film about the devastating health impacts of gas drilling in Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Beach Lake, Pennsylvania resident Josh Fox is a filmmaker and Artistic Director of the International WOW Company. DCS provided both initial funding and critical backround information for the production of this provocative film, which set Josh on an 8,000 mile odyssey. Released in January 2010 GASLAND was recently nominated for an Oscar. The film is being shown across the country and has been an essential organizing tool in this campaign.

From gaslandthemovie.com website: 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. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.
