Gasland deals with “fracking”, a destructive way to drill through shale for natural gas that has spurred upcoming Maryland legislation for a moratorium on natural gas fracking (hydraulic fracturing). The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. 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. The drilling in this area is occurring in the Marcellus Shale deposit which stretches from New York south through Pennsylvania, western Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia.
