We're kicking off this year's Solar-Powered Film Series with a special screening of Gasland, part of a series of screenings that Rooftop Films is presenting in different cities in New York and Pennsylvania.
Gasland is the story of what happened when a natural gas mining company offered Josh Fox and his upstate New York neighbors $100,000 each for the right to drill for gas on their land, and Fox thought he’d better examine what was going on before he signed away his property. This led him on a cross-country odyssey that uncovered a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. The result is an eye-opening documentary that is part vérité travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, and part showdown.
This will be a ticketed screening,
