About Haynesville: A Nation's Hunt for an Energy Future

Called "Moving," "Fair and smart," and "A humane take on an increasingly relevant- and complicated- subject," Haynesville documents the momentous discovery of the most prolific natural gas field in North America called Haynesville Shale and explores what the find could mean to our nation's energy future. The film follows the lives of three residents in the middle of the gas discovery and explores their hopes, dreams, and the reality of what happens during an energy boom. As the Haynesville erupts, experts discuss the potential of shale gas, our current energy situation, and offer a path to a cleaner, greener future.
