Gasland (2010)
Tuesday, Oct 22
In May 2008 Josh Fox received a letter from a natural gas company offering to lease his family’s land in Milanville, Pennsylvania for $100,000 to drill for gas. Fox set out to see how communities are being affected in the west where a natural gas drilling boom has been underway for the last decade. Throughout the documentary, Fox reaches out to scientists, politicians and gas industry executives and ultimately finds himself in the halls of Congress. Gasland was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2011.
The film will start at 7 p.m. in CLA 4110.
