The
Tree of Life Green Sanctuary Committee
returns after a hiatus with a
showing of the award winning documentary
Gasland at 7pm, Friday, November 18 at the church, 5603 Bull Valley Road in McHenry.
Gasland is the 2010 documentary
written and directed by Josh Fox. Nominated
for an Academy Award for Best
Documentary in 2011, the film focuses on American communities affected by natural
gas drilling especially hydraulic fracturing—the
method of horizontal drilling into shale formations . The film helped
mobilize the anti-fracking movement.
