Have seen Gasland, and Josh Fox has been here. The flaming water scenes that made the news were shot not far from where I live. For those of us who've been actively confronting fracking the Damon film is info-lite. But we weren't expecting a documentary, we were hoping for something that would pique the interest of those not yet involved in the fight; judging by some of the comments heard last night, it does just that, and for that we are grateful.
