Hunter Valley Protection Alliance is pleased to invite you and your friends to a special preview screening of Josh Fox's controversial & award-winning documentary (see trailer below)
Gasland
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".
But is gas drilling 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, this film is an eye-opening insight into an industry that is currently spreading through regional Australia.
Be one of the first to see this award-winning film at a special Singleton community screening. It's likely to be an explosive event.
