An in-depth investigation into the disaster President Obama described as an ecological september 11th. This film examines the causes and effects of the Louisiana oil spill from many different angles: the ecological, the human, the political and the economic, and goes beyond the usual finger pointing at BP. The result is a much broader perspective on the disaster, revealing fundamental problems with the American approach to the petrol industry. A crucial conflict of interest is revealed within the Department of the Interior’s Mineral Management Service.
