Gasland

Directed, Narrated and Written by: Josh Fox
Documentary
Review by: Sherri
Ever heard of "Fracking", or hydraulic fracturing? It-is-scary. I didn't have much knowledge on the subject, and it never really bothered me. All I had heard was that it was a process to help free up natural gas that is trapped deep beneath the surface of the earth. Even though I didn't have all the facts I was still leery of it.

This Documentary focuses on the terrible after effects of fracking. I was pretty skeptical during some parts of the film because I was so shocked. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I did some research and there isn't much out there yet, but concerns about this process are rising.

If you are an environmentalist, or even if you are not, you should see this. It is very informative and detailed, and also, given from a first-hand account. The director is at the front line of this problem and he is very involved.

I didn't really have any huge problems with this film, I enjoyed the style of the documentary, but sometimes hated Josh Fox's narrations. But it was worth watching....So go watch it!
