Josh Fox’s “Gasland II” to expose power politics of fracking. Pictures of flames shooting out of a tap in Josh Fox’s Oscar-nominated first film about the natural gas boom helped make fracking a household word in America. Gasland Part II, scheduled to air on HBO on July 8, aims to expose the money and political power driving the rush to gas — although it does also feature pictures of a homeowner in Texas lighting his garden hose on fire. “This isn’t just about fracking at all anymore. This is about our system of government, and this is about climate change,” Fox said in a telephone interview. “If what we are seeing all across America is people able to light their water on fire, why hasn’t our government done anything about it, why have our regulatory agencies failed to protect us?”
The answer, in brief, is the millions energy companies spent on political candidates and on lobbying Congress, Fox said. The oil and gas industry has spent $780 million on lobbying since 2008, according to Open Secrets. Fox blames the power of the oil and gas industry.

In Gasland sequel, fracking saga’s pressure ratchets up. Josh Fox’s 2010 documentary Gasland alerted legions of people to the dangers of fracking and helped grow the movement against the drilling technique, which has created a natural-gas bonanza in many parts of the U.S.
Now Fox is back with a sequel, Gasland Part II, that premiered this week at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The new film begins much like its predecessor: Shots of politicians alternate with shots of the forest, dripping wet with fresh rain. Fox introduces himself, his home, and his problem: A gas company wants to frack his land and the land around it. But the sequel tells a different kind of story from the first film, and Fox plays a different part. When Fox first started this project five years ago, he was an avant-garde theater writer and director. In the years between Fox’s two films, that fight has intensified. The most compelling images (and some of the most contested) from the first movie were shots of flaming taps. But Josh Fox isn’t just making movies. Gasland.
