Gasland

Not in your backyard. Not yet.

A sobering investigative documentary that exposes the environmental and health costs of natural gas extraction, building tension through accumulated evidence of contamination and corporate malfeasance.

It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"-and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
