New DVD: Gasland

January 10, 2011

We recently added Gasland to the DBRL collection. The movie played at the True False Film Festival in 2010 and has received favorable reviews from critics. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

In 2009, filmmaker Josh Fox learned his land was on top of the Marcellus Shale, a giant reservoir of natural gas, and that he would be paid to lease his land for natural gas extraction. Fox documented his cross-country trek to find out if the controversial process of hydraulic fracking is actually safe. What he unearthed was a shocking discovery about a practice that is understudied and inadequately regulated, and raced to find answers about fracking before it was too late.
