"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."
Join us to watch this horrific film and take part in an evening of discussion and engagement with a grassroots earth defender and fighter from the frontlines of the Unis'tot'en Resistance Camp and the battle against resource extraction.
There will be food available, as well as non-alcoholic beverages.
No oppressive bullshit please!
