Gasland is a 2010 American propaganda documentary film written and directed by Josh Fox. The film focuses on communities in the United States impacted by natural gas drilling and, specifically, a method of horizontal drilling into shale formations known as slickwater fracking. Later it was revealed that Fox knowingly hid relevant information which casted a negative and untruthful light on the gas industry. Two other documentaries counter Fox's film, TruthLand and FrackNation.
