This 106-minute documentary delves into a web of secrets, lies, conspiracy and contamination, and tries to find answers about fracking before the situation gets worse and becomes irreparable. Amazing and eye-opening!

There is nothing good about fracking. Corruption is rampant between big business and government. What happened to empathy?

Before the acclaim even faded, a lot of the lies Josh Fox tells in this were getting exposed. There was no spike of breast cancer in TX. Dimock's water was tested by PA regulators and the EPA with no harmful changes noted. Turns out…

This sequel updates the issue of groundwater contamination from natural gas fracking into the period of the Obama Administration. The news is disheartening as the natural gas industry uses its wealth to wield influence in state and…

Filmmaker Josh Fox drives cross-country on a fact-finding mission. Gasland pairs well with PBS documentary "Bigger Than Enron": both tell how people typically (here, mostly men in leading corporate positions) lie, cheat, fabricate company…

This is a good follow-up to the original documentary. It shows, unfortunately, how for many people their land and water situation has worsened, and how widespread fracking has become.

A continuation & update from the first doc done 5 years earlier ... just as good as the first in pointing out the corruptive influence of the oil&gas industry on governmental environmental regulatory agencies ... and the subsequent…

This is a DO-NOT-MISS for British Columbians and Canadians in general at a time when this globally much-contested practice is being expanded by those too greedy to care about consequences here in the province. If you've missed the…

I must see if you are interested in the future of Northern BC with the LNG industry.

This eye opening well made documentary by first time filmmaker Josh Fox exposes the completely legal and absolutely criminal acts of 'Big Oil' and the loopholes they take advantage of. These environmental 'rapists' avoid any accountability…

Without a doubt, this very informative documentary offers much more than what we get from mainstream news sources. “Gasland” is must-see for everyone. Note: HBO is currently airing “Gasland 2”.

A shocking chronicle of political dereliction, business greed, and environmental catastrophe from natural gas fracking across the United States. Is 'burning' water coming to northeastern British Columbia? The constantly jiggling…

A good film for revealing serious concerns about the fracking industry to the ignorant.

Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking) is the latest method allowing us to extract huge supplies of natural gas that were previously not accessible. If you are wondering if it is a good idea, watch this film before making up your mind. It tells…

Excellent. Horrifying. These poor working people having the oil and gas companies pollute their air and water Children, animals all suffering. Just for greedy businesspeople. Wiling to lie outright that fracking does not cause…

One of the best documentaries of 2010. A Must See! The US tried energy reform under Bush and it continues under Obama. But what are the consequences of a natural gas economy? This film explores it pretty thoroughly. Natural gas is not…

Nice documentary. Kind of makes you very mad at the Republicans.

This film needs to be seen by everyone concerned about our water and this very destructive practice of "fracking". Teachers/educators-get this film into your classroom. Community activists-arrange showings. Quebec has a moratorium on…

Please view this film and then tell everyone you know to view it. The oil companies drilling for natural gas using a technique call fracking (short for hydralic fracturing of the earth to release the gas) are commiting crimes against us…

I was finally able to watch “Gasland” last night and I have to say this film really deserves your viewing time. The filmmaker's technique is low-key and simple, but the story he tells of the dangers of natural gas drilling is personal and…

Good - Gasland (2010) [Documentary] 107 min. Highly interesting and disturbing film about the natural gas industry in the U.S. and its effect on drinking water and air quality. I kept shaking my head on how the mighty buck could motivate…

This is really scary stuff - and should be required viewing in all high schools and universities courses dealing with society and/or the environment. It is truly deserving of its Academy Award nomination, this year, and may very well have…
