User Reviews
Scary documentary, but important. Not the strongest narrative or structure, but still worth a watch
Disturbing and real. Mandatory viewing for anyone who is environmentally aware, and moreso for those who are not.
A fine documentary. Important subject matter, but I hope there is a sequel.
The actual documentary topic is highly interesting, but the way it’s put together is weak.
Excellent documentary showing the personal costs of fracking

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. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"-and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
Two years ago, Josh Fox introduced us to hydraulic fracturing with his Oscar®-nominated exposé Gasland. Now this once-touted energy source has become a widely discussed, contentious topic. In his follow-up, Fox reveals the extreme circumstances facing those affected by fracking, from earthquakes to the use of federal anti-terror psychological operations tactics. Gasland Part II is the definitive proof that issues raised by fracking cannot be ignored for long.
