When a natural gas mining company offered filmmaker Josh Fox and his upstate New York neighbors $100,000 each for the right to drill for gas on their land, Fox thought he'd better examine what was going on before he signed away his property. The result is the powerful and eye-opening documentary Gasland. Part vrit travelogue, part expos, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, and part showdown, Gasland delivers a devastating look into the effects of hydraulic fracturing. Rooftop Films, The Fledgling Fund and International WOW Company are proud to present a free screening of Gasland in Frick Park. Before the screening, the Scorch Fire Dancers will perform, and after we will have a Q&A with director Josh Fox and local activist groups followed by an after party at PYT.
