CONSCIOUS NASHVILLE'S COMMUNITY MOVIE NIGHT PRESENTS GASLAND
Tuesday, Jul 10, 2012 6:15 PM
The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across
the United States. The Halliburton developed drilling technology called
"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 road trip
to find the answer to this question. A nearby Pennsylvania town which was
recently drilled 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, Gasland is a crosscountry
odyssey with unexpected humor, uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and
contamination.
