GASLAND (1-30-11)

GasLand (2010) - ****

This eye-opening documentary from Josh Fox focuses on communities in the United States impacted by natural gas drilling and a stimulation method known as hydraulic fracturing (aka "fracking").  The fracking process causes toxic chemicals to seep into soil and water supplies, causing illness and polluting streams and lakes - shockingly, this is all done without breaking any laws.  One of the best documentaries of 2010, GasLand is a sad and frustrating reminder of what happens when money trumps the value of another human being.
