GASLIT Documentary Featuring Jane Fonda To Make World Premiere at Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 5th

WASHINGTON, D.C. (January 20, 2026) – Greenpeace USA today announced the upcoming release of GASLIT, a new documentary featuring Academy Award-winning actor and activist Jane Fonda, set to premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 5, 2026.

In GASLIT, Fonda embarks on a road trip through Texas oil fields and Gulf Coast communities, meeting the people on the frontlines of the United States’ fossil fuel expansion. Since 2023, the U.S. has become the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), and oil and gas companies are simultaneously fueling a massive boom in plastics production, doubling down on petrochemicals to secure their long-term future. GASLIT also features award-winning actor Connie Britton, and multi-platinum, Grammy Award-nominated producer/ songwriter/ performer Maggie Rogers joining forces with Fonda to highlight the dire nature of environmental injustice.

Jane Fonda, 88, turns heads with ageless look in powerful TV appearance

Jane Fonda looked far younger than her 88 years during an appearance on Wednesday's episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she discussed the importance of political activism. 

The octogenarian sat opposite the show's host, Stephen Colbert, in a long-sleeved black shirt with the word "Resist" printed across the chest in sparkling font, pointing to her long history of activism. She wore black trousers and gold earrings to complete the look, and her gray hair fell in tight curls. 

Jane is particularly passionate about climate justice, racial equality, and rights for women, LGBTQIA+ people and Indigenous communities, and wore the shirt as a reference to her recent work in restarting the Committee for the First Amendment. 

Jane Fonda Champions Gulf Coast In Gaslit Battle

Jane Fonda, the legendary Oscar-winning actress and activist, is once again stepping into the spotlight—this time not for a film role, but for her unwavering commitment to environmental and social justice. As she nears her 89th birthday, Fonda is leading Gulf Coast communities in a high-stakes battle against the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, a struggle captured in the new documentary Gaslit. Produced by Greenpeace USA and directed by Katie Camosy, the film is set to make its world premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on February 5, 2026, according to Filmogaz.com.

Fonda’s activism is anything but performative. Her journey through the Gulf Coast, documented in Gaslit, reveals the deep health and environmental consequences of LNG production for local communities. The stakes are high: an analysis conducted by the Sierra Club and Greenpeace USA, as reported by Filmogaz.com, found that existing LNG terminals in the United States are responsible for approximately 60 premature deaths every year, with associated healthcare costs nearing $957 million. Should proposed expansions move forward, those numbers could rise dramatically—to an estimated 149 premature deaths and $2.33 billion in health expenses annually.
