Some films can be viewed for the pure enjoyment of checking out a great flick. Other films are painful to watch, especially when the film in question is a documentary about something happening to real peole, and that is about to burst ut in a nationwide, and even worldwide scale. Josh Fox's Gasland, is the second kind of film.
If you haven't seen the documentary film, Gasland, you probably haven't seen the eyes of the people suffering from the effects of hydraulic fracturing. You probably haven't seen the animals, the cats and horses, with their fur falling out from drinking poisoned well water. You might not have seen a man light his tap water on fire. And, you might not have stopped to consider that all of the water in our huge biosphere is connected, and that the animals we use for food and plants we consume are also being fueled by the same, toxic water.
If you haven't seen Gasland, you should, if only so you know what your government and your environmental protection agency has deemed as acceptable - for you, and your children, and everyone you have ever cared about.
