Summary "One of the most controversial documentaries in recent years, Gasland is a compelling and emotional first-person story of discovery and, ultimately, empowerment. In 2008, theatre director Josh Fox received a letter from a natural gas company, offering him one hundred thousand dollars for permission to explore his upstate New York property. Josh's curiosity led him to ask questions and he discovered that the method for extracting this valuable resource from the 'Saudi Arabia' of reserves - hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking' is exempt from several important federal protections, including the clean water act."--Container Analysis United States Natural gas reserves Natural gas exploration Groundwater Environmental impact Water supply Discovery and exploration Health impact Potable water Water pollution Scandals Government regulation Legislation Overseas item Notes Special features: Over 45 minutes of bonus scenes ; David Stratton's extended interview with director Josh Fox ; Theatrical trailer Credits Directed by Josh Fox Performer Narrator: Josh Fox Audience Censorship rating: M Notes Originally released [United States] : Gasland Productions LLC, c2010 DVD ; Region 4 ; PAL ; Widescreen In English ; no subtitles Available for Deakin University staff and students only Subject Halliburton Company.
