For some reason they dragged there heels on the DVD release of this. maybe it was legal stuff,red tape etc.No doubt B.P and the feds etc would have tried to put the blockers on this due to the ongoing health issues stated in this fantastic documentary.i was particularly amazed at the deep history the documentary makers went to to make this. Especially the man and wife but most of all the wife who even suffering ill health due to filming this disaster continued with her work without the slightest moan or groan. Some would have got out of that place quick-style.You wanna see it ? http://movreel.com/4fcrg6vvebom stream or d/l.. 10/10 for me for this historical piece of documentation.
Saw the movie last night and it was excellent. Provocative, well research, emotional and powerful. It is really shocking to see the level of deceit and corruption still going on in the gulf. We got to invest in alternative energies and let go of our destructive addiction to oil. Even though I consider myself generally well informed, I was shocked to see pieces of information that have been kept secret to the public at large. And the film provides irrefutable proof. Sometimes the truth hurts. We got to face the truth otherwise the alternative will be even more disastrous.
Dan Rather asked filmmaker Josh Tickell why documentaries are so popular in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival. The answer is that the media is letting us down. While Fox, MSNBC, and everyone in between have forgotten about the BP spill, the oil continues to leak, and Corexit continues to be sprayed, pumped and dumped into the waters of the Gulf. Americans are demanding that offshore oil permits be renewed to create jobs, while thousands of fishing jobs are being snuffed out by the worst spill in history, followed by the worst solution in history.Josh and Rebecca Tickell interview the locals who are most directly affected by the spill, and sneak behind the scenes to catch the criminals in the act. This film should put its creators on stage at the 2012 Oscars.
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.
