Interviews with oil executives, survivors and Gulf Coast residents who experienced the Deepwater Horizon explosion.

On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. It killed 11 workers and caused the worst oil spill in American history. The documentary director Brown traveled to small towns and major cities across Alabama, Louisiana and Texas to explore the fallout of the environmental disaster. Years later, the Southern Americans still haunted by the Deepwater Horizon explosion provide first-hand accounts of their ongoing experience, long after the story has faded from the front page.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA): Rated PG-13.


DVD, NTSC, region 1; Dolby digital 5.1.
