GASLAND: Brilliant Documentary on HBO Burns the Gas Industry
Tonight, while working on a client’s social media campaign, I decided to grab my laptop, plop down on the couch, and watch Josh Fox’s brilliant documentary “GASLAND” on HBO. So much for work, I was immediately enthused by the film and had to put my computer to sleep — I just couldn’t help it.
Overall, I have to say, big kudos! Excellent film and way to create exposure for an important, commonly unknown issue that is compromising the future of mankind (and womankind of course 
).
According to the film’s official website, it’s about: “The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “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 odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town 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.”
When you have a chance, take some time out of your natural gas consuming day and watch GASLAND. You will be happy you did.
Sincerely,
