Gasland Part II primarily serves as a critique of industrial and regulatory power. Its narrative strength lies in deconstructing the idea of industrial progress as a form of oppression. While the film effectively challenges the morality of capitalist structures and state oversight, it lacks engagement with specific identity-based representation. The focus remains on the environmental and health impacts of fracking rather than the social identities of those affected.
Category Breakdown
Does Gasland Part II have LGBTQ+ representation?
The film focuses on environmental science and corporate litigation. There are no obvious LGBTQ+ characters or stories about non-cisgender identities.
How does Gasland Part II portray gender?
The story centers on political struggles rather than gender dynamics. It avoids reinforcing patriarchal leadership by showing a wide range of community members.
How racially and ethnically diverse is Gasland Part II?
The documentary shows various rural communities impacted by fracking. While it highlights diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, it does not give significant narrative ability to act to racialized identities.
How does Gasland Part II represent religion and culture?
The film provides a strong critique of capitalist structures and Western institutions. It portrays large energy corporations as predatory entities that prioritize profit over human lives.

Official Synopsis
Two years ago, Josh Fox introduced us to hydraulic fracturing with his Oscar®-nominated exposé Gasland. Now this once-touted energy source has become a widely discussed, contentious topic. In his follow-up, Fox reveals the extreme circumstances facing those affected by fracking, from earthquakes to the use of federal anti-terror psychological operations tactics. Gasland Part II is the definitive proof that issues raised by fracking cannot be ignored for long.
