The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of “fracking” or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a “Saudia Arabia of natural gas” just beneath us. But is fracking safe?

When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination.

A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND.

Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.

Is it gone? Getting a blank box where the film should be?

I've probably seen more than plenty to get the ugly, ugly picture. However, Megavideo says I have to wait 30 minutes to see the rest of the video, or subscribe. :(

It happened 3/2, and it happened again tonight. I finally finished watching it after waiting 30 minutes. Maybe you can put a warning on there, or something. Anyway, the documentary was incredible. It's going to be with me for a long time. I can tell, already. What is wrong with people?
