GASLAND, PART II is a provocative follow-up to Josh Fox's award-winning documentary
feature debut GASLAND. The new film continues to explore the controversial
method of extracting natural gas and oil known as fracking, arguing how
dangerous the process is, and how pervasive the gas industry's influence on
public policy has become. Tempered by Fox's trademark dark humor, the film
shows how the stakes have been raised on all sides in one of the most divisive
environmental issues facing our nation today. GASLAND PART II pierces
prevailing myths by arguing how and why fracked wells leak over time,
contaminating water and air, hurting families and endangering the Earth's
climate with methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. It also sheds light on
the global consequences of fracking, as more and more countries are following
the US's lead in drilling for gas.
