GASLAND II Film Screening

17 Oct 2014

GASLAND Part I explored the widespread contamination, pollution and health effects of the largest industrial drilling campaign in historyacross the US. Famous scenes of people lighting their water on fire reverberated across the world and created awareness of the dangers ofdrilling and fracking. GASLAND Part II is just as thrilling an investigation, but this time the GASLAND team focused on another level of contamination due to fracking: The contamination of our democracy through the intense influence of oil and gas corporations on our political system. The result is every bit as shocking as the first film.

We will be joined by a member of WNC Frack-Free, who will give a short introduction to fracking policy in North Carolina before the film.

Location: Swannanoa Valley Friends Meeting House 137 Center Ave, Black Mountain NC (Common Light Meetingplace)
