After The Spill
Directed by
On Earth Day 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, flooding the Gulf of Mexico with crude oil and devastating the coastline. In a fast-paced investigation narrated by actress Melissa Leo, the documentary takes us to the Louisiana coast five years after the disaster. Through the testimonies of a wide-ranging cross-section of local residents—fishermen, scientists, politicians, environmentalists, and oil rig workers—the catastrophe's long-term, if not irreversible, impact is revealed. What fate awaits the economy and ecosystem of a region so hard hit?
