This intellectually, emotionally engaging - and draining documentary is as valid an valuable as A CRUDE AWAKENING, which in itself is as (all the above) solid as AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH... and perhaps literally Earth shattering.... Dense with startling truths from ordinary folk and their sad discoveries of the bad hot water in which they now seem to reside, the finger of guilt is again firmly pointed at the Darth Vader of the Bush Administration: DICK CHEYNEY and his Halliburton Evil Empire. GASLAND is an environmental document of disgust and horror and it needs a strong constitution to get thru it... as probably as strong as those living it. Well worth seeing and discussing in the light of the tar pit America and her politics and business pillage find itself all in, GASLAND is a keen film for High School and University students to challenge the business of reality. It is also a well edited reaction to the mindset that asks why America cannot be self sufficient and finds the country plundering every square inch of wilderness in a fossil fuel finding frenzy... one that might allow it to kiss the Middle East oil habit goodbye... but an answer that sees the country burn it's future to cheaply buy the gas to get the SUV to MacDonalds. GASLAND is a good documentary. Startling and full of ordinary facts that allow credibility to simply present itself and make you so glad you do not live there. I live in Australia. Thank God.
