You won't be disappointed!
Beautiful, moving film.
A Major Disappointment
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This begins with a simplified history of BP as a monopoly of Iranian oil with British military backing. It covers the overthrow of Mossadegh and then their arrival off the coast of Louisiana. It covers the political history of the state starting with Huey Long. In April 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil rig Deepwater Horizon had an accident.This covers many aspects of the spill. It's the cause, and the effects. It's definitely slanted from the environmentalist's point of view. The most informative is the chemical dispersion. It pushes too hard at times but that's the filmmakers' rights. This is a necessary film especially if one is unfamiliar with the story and the issues.
I am a student from Los Angeles City College and I had the chance to watch a sneak preview of this film as well as meet the filmmakers Joshua and Rebecca Tickell. They are very caring and intelligent people who decided to share with my class their methods and to express their views on the world around us. I would just like to say that this film as well as the filmmakers have changed my awareness of the world around me in a positive way. I wish you Good luck on your journey to success and Thank you for visiting my school. I will never forget, "Catch as catch can, sometimes you have to work with what you got"-Joshua Tickell.Thank you -Robert Penna
Louisiana is not a state, it's an oil colony. That was one of the core messages of this film, and it's impossible to argue that it's not true after seeing and hearing the evidence.The history lesson is gripping, the interviews with policy experts and politicians are amazingly informative. The interviews with Gulf residents are touching. The interviewees are all people I'd love to have as friends, and I felt saddened for what has happened to them and continues to happen to them.The birds, fish and shrimp? They're dead, so their suffering is over, but the people who counted on the Gulf for their survival continue to watch in horror as the damage being done to the Gulf gets worse and the President has approved the issue of more deep water drilling permits.I'd highly recommend this film to anyone, especially if they think they know what has happened, and continues to happen, in the Gulf.
This is one awesome and important film. If you are concerned about the state of our planet and the future of our democracy then this film should be on your bucket list... Don't wait till your bucket is empty to see Josh and Rebecca Tickell expose this tragic man made disaster and cover up... Josh and Rebecca Tickell along with Peter Fonda take us with them on their journey to the Gulf of Mexico for a first hand view the devastation of the BP Oil spill and the whitewashing of the facts... This film is so timely to the events unfolding in America today that is very important that this film get the distribution it deserves, go see it and recommend it to all your friends and family.
