IMPACT 2012 Crude Screening

Three years in the making, this cinéma-vérité feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother’s Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits on the planet. The inside story of the infamous “Amazon Chernobyl” case, Crude is a real-life high stakes legal drama, set against a backdrop of the environmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and rapidly-disappearing indigenous cultures.

IMPACT 2012 Gasland Screening & Conversation

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. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called Gasland. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown.

Political and social activists often pick an issue and focus on it tunnel-vision style, failing to connect to related issues, and many environmentalists are no exception. When Ann Eagan invited me to speak to her groups in a way that connected issues, I did not hesitate to say yes. Bloomberg is pressuring landlords to convert boilers to natural gas, to create a market for fracked gas, which has a radioactive radon content 150 times greater than what we get now. Electric cars are another way to build that market.

Do you want upstate NY to become an industrial wasteland? Governor Cuomo and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation are proposing regulations to allow fracking in nearly 50% of New York State. The new regulations claim to protect NYC’s water supply, but this is a lie. The reality is that the water, land and air of all New Yorkers is at risk of permanent contamination.

Join us for a screening of the movie Gasland, a discussion of fracking, and steps we can take to protect all New Yorkers.
