Watch Gasland For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Such a frustrating disappointment

hyped garbage

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The title as well as the photos on this low budget documentary are attention grabbers. This enticed me to pick select this item out from all the other underdog videos from our local video store where all the goth and leather clad and pierced humanoids hang out.Such selling tactics are reminiscent of the strategies used by National Enquirer. The strategy to get you hooked is to spice up some convincing but boring facts with some outrageous claims masquerading as factual!.... a poisonous mix bond to encourage further bias away from truth.But documentaries have the advantage over print it that they can communicate to the illiteratus stultus..... which brings me to the main point.....For those lacking critical thinking and survival skills to remain employed..... there will be plenty of free time to indulge their anger into action by joining the most extreme environmental movements, this documentary does the trick! The excessive emphasis on natural gas overshadows the most critical issue in Pennsylvania and elsewhere which is the mining and use of coal, the prime fuel source for the USA electrical grid.

I worked on the Marcellus Shale and can honestly say that the documentary is incredibly accurate. It's too bad that he doesn't cover the incidents such as the truck drivers who died from errant sparks from flashlights looking into their tankers, or the frac tank that blew and killed a man in Armstrong County PA, or the "water treatment" facility that burned to the ground when drip gas (about 1%-3%) of the production water pulled from the pits ignited the storage tanks in New Castle PA around Sept of 08 or 09 that committed insurance fraud to get the plant rebuilt, or the plant that exploded in Youngstown several months later for the same reason. I just hope Gasland 2 covers the CMU report about the increased levels of brine from 34 municipalities NOT set up to treat the production water discharging directly into the Ohio River watershed that leads all the way to the Gulf, and when treated with chlorination, the chemicals turn into carcinogenic bromides. And the "Bio's" methanes which are freed up and sent to the surface from the drilling and fracking process and not necessarily from water well drilling. Funny how a well can produce fresh water for decades until the land is fractured, and all of the sudden its the water well's fault. I have a relative who is a lawyer for the industry and admits 3-4% of the concrete lined wells fail. It just takes one! You know, like BP Horizon was just ONE!

It is happening all across America -- rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property.We see natural gas leaking into water wells, turning it colors and making people sick. The film shows a horse, cat and person with hair missing from drinking the water. By far the most visual part is when various residents are able to light their tap water on fire. Burning water? Seems impossible, yet there it is.What to make of this? The strongest critics say it is a fraud, but there is more than enough evidence to show this is an accurate film. And yet, we cannot just stop producing gas and other forms of energy -- it would cripple the nation. What do we do? It seems that we need to find a safer way...

Another bullsh*t payed for by Russian Gasprom in order to kill the competition lolWho will benefit (cui prodest) - and that is the question. In a major scope, not just our internal stupid wars on oilAnd the beneficiary is Russian gas giant.Which actually payed for the production of this "documentary"It is sad to see that people are so ready to consume any nonsense.Without even attempting to research the issue. There has been an answer to this propaganda.The movie is called ThruthlandIf you want to consider yourself objective and informed - watch it.
