Farmers Barred from Viewing 'Gasland' Sequel After Confronting Director


Farmers Barred from Viewing 'Gasland' Sequel After Confronting Anti-Fracking Director and Yoko Ono http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/04/21/gasland-sequel-farme rs-restricted

McAleer, whose FrackNation documentary shares the positive aspects of fracking, paraphrased some of the questions hurled at the filmmaker and celebrities:

“Are you still claiming fracking causes breast cancer?” asked one farmer, a reference to a sequence included in Fox's first film.

"Would Fox apologize to the people of Dimock, Pennsylvania?" asked another in a sign. Dimock was held up as a waste land due to fracking in the first film but, as McAleer says, the EPA later announced it posed no serious water issues for local residents.

The farmers also taunted Fox and Ono as “one percenters,” using the terminology of the Occupy Wall Street moment to depict out of touch stars disinterested in the less fortunate.

McAleer says no profanity or threats were uttered during the questions, and the farmers were behind the red carpet ropes and not in direct contact with the festival's stars.
