BP Oil Spill
Over the course of 3 months, an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico.
We’ve all seen the BP Oil Spill commercials on TV touting the Gulf beaches as now being open and more inviting as ever, and it seems as though the “recovery” seems to be in full swing. However, this short film from JourneyManPictures tells a different story of the effects of the disaster in the affected areas in various southern states. Rather than touting the successes of the response, this film shows the dire consequences for local fisherman, responders, as well as possible repercussions for the general population as a result. Share this with a friend or a colleague and remember that at the end of the day, everything you see on TV is trying to sell you something.
