The
begining is 2010, when was realized the documentary Gasland. The
movie portrayed the devastating effects of a method of drilling into
shale gas formations called hydraulic fracturing colloquially known
as "fracking", in rural american communities. It garnered
mostly positive reviews from film critics and newspapers but also
negative responses by fracking lobbyists. They answer with the
production of a movie titled TruthLand, by the Independent Petroleum
Association of America, concerned with listing false information
propagated in Gasland and showing a different view on fracking.
The
new film Promised Land reflected a trend about fracking since the
release of Gasland, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best
Documentary. Promised Land, released in December 2012, directed by
Gus van Sant starring Matt Damon, John Krasinski and Frances
McDormand. The screenplay was based on a story by Dave Eggers. It is
the first Hollywood treatment of fracking, much to the displeasure of
the oil and gas industry which have yet again launched an almost
targeted campaign to discredit the movie even before its release,
they said: "Promised Land will increase unfounded concerns
about fracking."
The
film is set to have its international premiere at the 63th Berlin
International Film Festival in February 2013.
