"Gasland" Explores Natural Gas Drilling in the US and Groundwater Contamination

Will the boom in natural gas drilling contaminate America’s water supply? NOW on PBS explores the issue. You can watch the 30-minute episode on the NOW website here.

NOW talks with filmmaker Josh Fox about Gasland, his Sundance award-winning documentary on the surprising consequences of natural gas drilling. Fox’s film—inspired when the gas company came to his hometown—alleges chronic illness, animal-killing toxic waste, disastrous explosions, and regulatory missteps.

And here is the trailer for the actual film Gasland. I don’t think it’s out on DVD yet.
