Film Synopsis
On April 22, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig sank into the Gulf of Mexico creating the worst oil spill in history. Until the oil well was killed on September 19th, 205 million gallons of crude oil and over 1.8 millions gallons of chemical dispersant spread into the sea. Despite a slick campaign convincing people that the Gulf have been “made-right”, oil is still washing ashore, shrimp are coming up full of oil, and people are still getting sick. The fate of Gulf-Coast ecosystem and the residents hinge on getting the truth out. The Big Fix sounds the warning of an environmental cover-up that will likely be repeated with deepwater drilling, fracking and extraction from tar sands unless we act now. By exposing the root causes of the spill, filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell un-cover a vast network of corruption. The Big Fix is a damning indictment of a system of government led by a powerful oligarchy that puts the pursuit of profit over all other human and environmental needs. |
