The Traverse City Film Festival is showing GasLand, a recently released HBO documentary that reveals problems faced by landowners in other states who had their lands subjected to Hydrofracking of deep shale formations to obtain natural gas, processes not different from that proposed in Michigan. Although some of the companies involved, which incidentally are also actively seeking leases in Michigan, claimed that the problems were not the result of their activities, substantial questions are left unanswered that may also need to be addressed here in Michigan. Tickets can be obtained on line at the “Traverse City Film Festival” or from the Box Office at 231-922-8903 for showings on July 30 at 9:39AM or July 31 at 3:00PM.
