Gasland is a 2010 American documentary written and directed by Josh Fox. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2011, the film focuses on communities in the United States affected by natural gas drilling and, specifically, a method of horizontal drilling into shale formations known as hydraulic fracturing. The film was a key mobilizer for the anti-fracking movement.
Fox narrates his reception of a letter in May, 2008, from a natural gas company offering to lease his family's land in Milanville, Pennsylvania for $100,000 to drill for gas. Fox then set out to see how communities are being affected in the west where a natural gas drilling boom has been underway for the last decade. He spent time with citizens in their homes and on their land as they relayed their stories of natural gas drilling in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Texas, among others. He spoke with residents who have experienced a variety of chronic health problems directly traceable to contamination of their air, of their water wells or of surface water. In some instances, the residents are reporting that they obtained a court injunction or settlement money from gas companies to replace the affected water supplies with potable water or water purification kits.
Documental estadounidense escrito y dirigido por Josh Fox. El documental se centra en comunidades de los Estados Unidos que se han visto afectadas por la extracción de gas natural "no convencional" o "de esquisto", concretamente mediante un método de extracción denominado "fracturación hidráulica" (del inglés, hidraulic fracturing o gas fracking). Las consecuencias de la explotación de los yacimientos de gas esquisto, parece ser que no son lo que las grandes corporaciones nos quieren hacer creer en sus campañas de información: una actividad sostenible y ecológica. Los efectos para los acuíferos, el subsuelo, el terreno y los seres vivos son sospechosos, ya que pueden ser tóxicos y causar daños irreparables. ÚNETE AL PLANETA ... Entra en ACCIÓN!!

GASLAND - (2010) Directed by Josh Fox. Winner of Special Jury Prize - Best US Documentary Feature - Sundance 2010. Screening at Cannes 2010. It is happening all across America and now in Europe and Africa as well - rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from a multinational energy conglomerate wanting to lease their property. The Reason? In America, the company hopes to tap into a huge natural gas reservoir dubbed the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground—a hydraulic drilling process called fracking—and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower. But what comes out of the ground with that natural gas? How does it affect our air and drinking water? GASLAND is a powerful personal ...
Le point de départ de Gasland est une lettre adressée à Josh Fox, le réalisateur. Elle lui propose cent mille dollars pour pouvoir forer des puits d’exploitation du gaz de schiste sur sa propriété, en Pennsylvanie ? un Eden forestier bordé par une rivière cristalline, affluente du Delaware, où ses parents, dans les années 1970, ont construit une maison de bois idyllique. Sachant que George W. Bush, en 2005, a dispensé les industries de l’énergie du respect des lois environnementales protégeant l’air et l’eau, et que la multinationale Halliburton, qui fut dirigée par l’ex-vice-président Dick Cheney, est pionnière dans l’exploitation du gaz de schiste par fracturation hydraulique, Josh Fox, pour savoir à quoi il s’expose, entreprend d’enquêter à travers le pays armé d’une caméra, de son banj...

democracynow.org - The Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Josh Fox was handcuffed and arrested Wednesday as he attempted to film a Congressional hearing on the controversial natural gas drilling technique, known as fracking, which the Environmental Protection Agency recently reported caused water contamination in Pavillion, Wyoming. Fox directed the award-winning film, "Gasland," which documents the impact of fracking to communities across the United States, and is now working on a sequel. Fox says he was arrested after Republicans refused to allow him to film because he did not have the proper credentials. "We wanted to report on what happened [at the hearing]. I was not interested in disrupting. It was not a protest action," says Fox. "I was simply trying to do my job as a journalist and...
After receiving an offer of $100,000 for the natural gas drilling rights to his property, filmmaker Josh Fox travels across the country to investigate the potential hazards. What he discovers is shocking: contaminated groundwater that bubbles and hisses, residents suffering from chronic illnesses, and—perhaps most disturbingly—flammable tap water. They're all consequences of a rapidly expanding drilling campaign that's guaranteeing unsuspecting landowners a quick and easy payoff, but leaving behind a burning trail of secrets, lies and catastrophic environmental damage. Welcome to Gasland.
