Jane Fonda's 'Gaslit' Documentary Highlights Gulf Coast Environmental Fight
Jane Fonda made a documentary called 'Gaslit' about how making liquid natural gas (LNG) is hurting people and nature in places like Texas and the Gulf Coast.
She visited these areas and talked to people who are affected, like fishermen, farmers, and former oil workers.
They are all working together to stop the pollution and protect their homes.
The documentary shows how bad the pollution is and how it's making people sick.
Jane Fonda promises to keep fighting for these communities until people know what's happening.
The movie wants to make people angry about the problem and inspired to help.
Jane Fonda's documentary 'Gaslit' premieres at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on February 5.
The film highlights the environmental and health impacts of LNG production on Gulf Coast communities.
Current LNG terminals are estimated to cause 60 premature deaths and $957 million in health costs per year.
If all planned LNG terminals are built, these numbers could rise to 149 premature deaths and $2.33 billion in health costs annually.
The documentary features Fonda and other activists visiting affected communities and documenting the pollution.

Quotes
Jane Fonda
Oscar-winning actor and activist
“This boom isn’t just about oil and gas – it’s about injustice, pollution, and the destruction of entire communities. Gaslit is about amplifying the voices of everyday Americans who are too often ignored. They know what it means to confront power that is seemingly insurmountable, even when you have everything to lose.”

Katie Camosy
Director of the documentary 'Gaslit'
“Now more than ever, we need the world to hear directly from those experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Gaslit is a visual representation of the movement and the people fighting tooth and nail for their lives every day. We’re deeply grateful to the communities in the Gulf South for their leadership – and we hope that people leave the theater feeling both outraged and inspired by their stories.”
