It's funny this discussion comes up this week since I just finished watching 3 documentaries on the subject. I saw GASLANDS for free on Amazon Prime. I got the sequel, GASLAND 2 from my public library. That's the anti-fracking side of the issue. I, then watched FRACKNATION for free on Netflix streaming. All 3 films go to extremes in the making of their arguments. What cracked up having a filmmaking background is how the colorist on both films adjusted the hues and tints and timing of their video output to make their points. GASLAND goes for a muted and desaturated palette since their are hitting the audience over the head about the horrors. FRACKNATION is like a Disney Infomercial with everything bright, colorful, cheery with no blown out detail, lots of pretty lighting effects especially on the interview sections, and nature's colors at their height. In other words, fracking can't be bad because everything is pretty. However, FRACKNATION is an incredible sandbag job of Koch Brothers, et al, propaganda by a very no objective "journalist" and "apologist" for the energy and mineral industries. His faux sincerity and objectivity is rank. My favorite line is when he interviews the Texas Environmental Analyst who was checking for toxicity in Dish, TX, said that "once they determind the air and water quality was fine, we then took blood test". WTF! If you want to know about fracking talk to the Albertans.
