The director of a documentary that portrays shale gas production as dangerous was arrested and escorted out of a Republican dominated congressional hearing on Wednesday, touching off a dispute over public access to the hearing.
Capitol Police handcuffed Josh Fox, director of the Oscar-nominated documentary Gasland, and led him out of a House science committee room after he refused to stop filming.
