Theater and film director Josh Fox’s documentary Gasland traces the eastward march of shale drilling — a decade of blasting from the Rockies to Pennsylvania, now pressing into New York. At 37, Fox brings the eye of an experimental artist to a straightforward but urgent subject, blending social message with cinematic clarity. The result is less abstraction than confrontation: a film that helped turn fracking into a household word.
