Award winning film by Josh Fox

This is a film about people trying to protect their families from the dangers of gas and oil. With recent licences granted for inland gas exploration in Ireland, this film is must see viewing.

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.
