Tuesday, May 3, the Consumer Energy Alliance will present a special free screening of the internationally acclaimed shale gas documentary Haynesville: A Nation's Hunt for an Energy Future. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion addressing current shale gas issues with a representatives from the EPA, X, Y, Z as well as director Gregory Kallenberg, and Bruce Bullock, director of the Maguire Energy Institute. There will also be a pre-screening reception featuring appetizers and open bar that will be open to all attendees of the screening.

Haynesville directly addresses shale gas drilling in the United States--exploring the tremendous potential benefits of this newfound energy source while emphasizing the importance of extracting it in the safest manner possible. The film chronicles the discovery of the most prolific natural gas field in North America, called the Haynesville Shale, with the story of an overnight millionaire, a preacher who believes it to be a gift to his people, and a community activist concerned about environmental issues. The film also discusses the larger energy issues involving shale gas, featuring interviews with some of the top experts in the country about what a domestic abundance of natural gas could mean for this country's energy future.

Called "Moving," "Fair and smart," and "A humane take on an increasingly relevant - and complicated subject," Haynesville has been featured at the Copenhagen World Climate Summit, the IFC Center in New York City, South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, TX, New Orleans Film Festival, Washington DC, Toronto, Calgary, and many other festivals and cities across the country.

Please forward this invitation to anyone who might be interested in learning more about these issues while helping construct a productive national conversation about shale gas.
