Event Description

“Gasland 2” is January’s offering from the First Tuesday Social Justice Films. There is no admission charged.  Refreshments are provided.  Audience discussion will follow.

“In this explosive follow-up to his Oscar®-nominated film "Gasland," filmmaker Josh Fox uses his trademark dark humor to take a deeper, broader look at the dangers of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the controversial method of extracting natural gas and oil, now occurring on a global level (in 32 countries worldwide). 

“Gasland Part II”, which premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival, shows how the stakes have been raised on all sides in one of the most important environmental issues facing our nation today. The film argues that the gas industry’s portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the earth’s climate with the potent greenhouse gas, methane.

In addition the film looks at how the powerful oil and gas industries are in Fox's words ‘contaminating our democracy’.” http://www.gaslandthemovie.com/about-the-film

  • “A must watch for all the environmentally conscious” –Examiner
  • “Haunting and Provocative” – LA Times
  • “The movie builds on Fox's Academy Award-nominated “Gasland,” further making the case of how the shale industry's hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) boom is busting up peoples' livelihoods, contaminating air and water, polluting democracy and serving as a “bridge fuel” only to propel us off the climate disruption cliff.” – DeSmogBlog

 Each month, First Tuesday Social Justice Films hosts free, public screenings of socially relevant films followed by audience talk back. The Festival is co-sponsored by the UUCOC’s Social Justice Ministry and the Dallas Peace Center  http://dallaspeacecenter.org /.

Upcoming films include “Pay2Play” on February 3; and “Nuclear Savage” on April 7.  The March film will be announced shortly.  For more information and schedules, visit first Tuesday's website.
