Down To Earth

KYRS presents the film “Gasland” on Monday


Do you have any plans on Monday night? If not, what the frack? I hope you'll check out Gasland, which is being presented by KYRS, Thin Air Community Radio. The film will show May 14th at 7PM at the wonderful Magic Lantern Theatre in downtown Spokane. It explores fracking- the destructive practice of natural gas extraction. In this Academy Award-nominated documentary, director Josh Fox learns from people who live near "fracking" sites about illnesses, hair loss and flammable water. He travels the country plunging ever deeper into a web of secrets, lies, conspiracy, and contamination.

Tickets are available at the door for $7 general admission and $3 Students w/ ID. This is a benefit for KYRS. There will be a discussion hosted by Envision Spokane's Kai Huschke after the film. For more information, please call 747-3012.

Check the trailer after the jump.
