Reuters and the Huffington Post have reported that documentary filmmaker and co-host of the 2011 IDA Documentary Awards Josh Fox has been arrested on Capitol Hill this morning.
Fox was attempting to film a House committee meeting where a report by the EPA on the possible contamination of a Wyoming aquifier due to "fracking" was being discussed. The filmmaker, whose film Gasland deals specifically with this issue, was arrested for not having the proper credentials to film this event, despite an attempt to apply for credentialing the day prior to the meeting.
