It’s scary knowing where you live may not be safe. The water you drink may be corrupted in some way. It’s gross, obviously, but it can also make you very angry towards whoever made this possible. Documentarian Josh Fox became angry at the United State’s policies on natural gas drilling. It’s a personal story because it impacts his land in Pennsylvania that he has known for many years. If he sells his land to allow for hydraulic fraturing (or fracking) it can damage the city around him. He travels across the state to where this has already happened. There is he able to go to their running tap water, pull out his lighter, and see the stream ignite.
