Gasland Screening in Tuscaloosa at the Bama Theater

In response to the proposed leasing of Alabama’s National Forests to oil and gas drilling,Wild South and several other Alabama organizations have united in opposition to this industrial development and the threats it poses to the environment and the health of our communities.

As showcased in the documentary Gasland, drilling for oil and gas can have disastrous consequences for our environment and our communities.  With a huge push to target domestic sources of energy there is not enough oversight or accountability for this industry.

When:  Doors open at 5:30pm, Screenings and discussions 6-8pm

Where:  Monday July 30^th Tuscaloosa, AL @ Bama Theatre
