On Tuesday, June 14th, at 7:00 pm, "Gasland" the movie will be
presented free of charge at Ambler Mennonite Church.
Controversy is swelling around the process of removing natural gas
from Pennsylvania shale by the process of hydraulic fracturing called
“fracking.” What does the use of chemically laden water driven into
Pennsylvania’s land mean for the people of the commonwealth? In Josh Fox’s “Gasland,” the filmmaker embarks on a cross-country raod trip to discover the truth about “fracking” and ends up “uncovering a
trail of secrets, lies and contamination,” according to the films
website www.gaslandthemovie.com.
Following the film, Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director of the Delaware
Riverkeeper Network, will lead a discussion. Carluccio has also
served as Executive Director of Del-AWARE Unlimited, organized to
stop an ecologically damaging interbasin transfer. The movement
culminated in voters overturning a county government that insisted on
supporting the project despite a majority referendum for its
cancellation.

The church is located at the corner of E. Mt Pleasant Ave and N.
Spring Garden St. in Ambler. Call the office at 215-643-4876 or
