What is ‘fracking’? Find out at a free screening of ‘GASLAND’ July 24

Written by surfridernyc | Jul 14, 2011 10:20:11 AM
Mark your calendar for July 24 because the Surfrider Foundation NYC Chapter and Patagonia New York SoHo have teamed up to present the 2010 documentary GASLAND at the Ace Hotel.

When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for natural gas drilling, he embarks on a cross-country journey uncovering a trail of secrets, deceit and contamination. Part travelogue, part exposé and part mystery, GASLAND delves into just how unsafe hydraulic fracturing is.


The first 50 guests will receive a Patagonia Beer Coozie made of upcycled Patagonia Regulator Wetsuits. Guests can purchase raffle tickets to win items donated by Patagonia. Raffle ticket proceeds will help fund a GASLAND sequel.

Doors open at 7pm and the reels start spinning at 8pm.

Food and drinks by The Breslin Bar and Dining Room.
$10 Summer Cocktail
$3 PBR Special

RSVP at rsvpliberty@thebreslin.com. The screenings are free and 21+.
