GASLIT: A Documentary with Jane Fonda
In GASLIT, Greenpeace USA’s first full-length documentary, award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda embarks on a road trip, meeting the people who are fighting back against the oil and gas extraction boom. GASLIT was made possible thanks to the financial support of Greenpeace USA donors as well as the Annenberg Foundation.
Greenpeace member support makes projects like GASLIT possible.
In the multi-award-winning documentary GASLIT, Jane Fonda travels across the oil fields of West Texas’ Permian Basin, and through the gulf coasts of Texas and Louisiana, visiting communities impacted by oil and gas production.
Along the way, Fonda sees firsthand how environmental degradation, fossil fuel profiteering, and climate devastation merge, burdening those on the frontlines of liquefied “natural” gas (LNG), plastics, and petroleum production. She’s also joined by her friends – actress and producer Connie Britton and singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers – as they bear witness to the enormous cost being paid by everyday people for the sake of petrochemical expansion.
GASLIT tells the stories of shrimpers, cattle ranchers, former oil and gas workers, cancer survivors, community organizers, self-described reluctant activists, and people across the political spectrum coming together in defense of the communities and coastlines they love.
Greenpeace USA’s steadfast commitment to not accepting funding from governments or corporations provides us with the independence to tell stories truthfully and honestly. Thanks to Greenpeace supporters, GASLIT transforms hundreds of hours of footage into our very first full-length documentary.
