Gasland film screening

6.30pm, Wednesday 5th March

Cargill Lecture Theatre, Main Admin Building

As a lead up to National Science Week the Environment Team are hosting a series of events focused on fracking.  The first film in the series is Gasland.  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.  http://gaslandmovie.co.uk/
