The environmental contamination and human health risk associated with the extraction of natural gas using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," was little known across the United States for years, until a documentary film brought the issue to the national stage. Josh Fox directed the film "Gasland," which chronicles the devastation affecting communities where fracking is taking place, and the influence of the natural gas industry over regulation of the techniques and chemicals used in the process. The industry aggressively attacked the film, especially when it was nominated for an Academy Award this year. Democracy Now! interviews Josh Fox.
