Gasland Part II is a documentary that investigates the environmental and health consequences of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the gas industry. It explores the cover-ups, political infiltration, and propaganda used by big businesses to exploit natural resources while disregarding the well-being of communities and the environment. The film also highlights the loopholes in environmental policy and the collusion between the oil and gas industry and government agencies. Through aerial camera shots and personal testimonies, Gasland Part II reveals the devastating effects of toxic chemicals and toxic waste on groundwater, land, and the health of individuals. It emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable and renewable energy sources to combat climate change and protect the environment.

For around ten years, natural disasters have been occurring more frequently, causing widespread destruction; yet industrialized countries still refuse to implement or persist in doubting the actions they must take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and fail to revise their policies for economic growth. Decisions taken high up directly affect the way of life of thousands of people, in Canada and elsewhere. In 2003, the United Nations indicated that for the first time in history, environmental refugees (25 million) outnumbered those fleeing from war or political persecution (23 million). And their numbers keep on increasing.
