GASLAND II 

The sequel to "GASLAND," this film not only continues to explore the damage to our nation from the practice of drilling for natural gas using horizontal hydrofracking, but also includes interviews with scientific experts about why fracking can never be done safely and the economic and technical capacity for renewable energy resources that are readily available eliminating the need for further drilling for dirty fossil fuels: coal, oil and natural gas.  The film sheds light on the biggest concern that " the enormously powerful oil and gas industry has not only contaminated our water, air and land, but also our democracy".
