Gasland (PG)

In September 2006, theatre director and part-time banjo player Josh Fox received an unexpected letter in the mail: a natural gas company offering him $100,000 for permission to explore his family’s upstate New York property, in the lush Delaware River Basin area.

Rather than join many of his neighbours in signing on the dotted line, Josh’s curiosity saw him asking questions. He soon discovered that in the race for ‘cleaner’, greener and more efficient energy sources, the largest natural gas drilling boom in history is sweeping the globe, and in the US, the Halliburton-led drilling technology of hydraulic fracturing (or ‘fracking’) has unlocked a 'Saudi Arabia of natural gas'.

So Josh picked up his camcorder, and set out on a journey across America's heartland. His personal concerns quickly uncover global ones, as the citizens of ‘GasLand' testify to what's been happening around them.

  • Thank you very much :)

  • Thanks mate

  • Hope I wasn't too late. =O
    Guess I won't know til 3/11/10… "You will be notified by email by Wednesday 3 November if you have been successful."

  • If I get the tickets see you there in Adelaide Sunday 14th November 11am! :)

  • Looks like a good movie :) fingers crossed

  • Woohoo!

  • Anybody know what cinemas it will be at? I'm not sure I can go across town on a Sunday morning.

    I will probably see it a regular cinema anyway as it looks like an engrossing and relevant film, given the issues here with coal seam gas recently.

    Edit: I suspect that in Sydney the freebie will be at one of the Palace cinemas, given that the premiere season will be there.

    This is an amazing Doco. You can torrent it if youre feeling naughty/miss out on tickets

    Hopefullythe doco gets a general release here so that awareness of the hydraulic fracing that is starting here can be nipped in the bud.

    Seriously bad technology.
