| Programming Highlights: Gone with the Wind: Discover How 200 Million Gallons of Oil Forever Changed a Way of Life on BLACK TIDE: VOICES FROM THE GULF, September 25 only on Animal Planet |
| Posted
on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 06:41 PM |
“When the mainstream media packed up and moved to the next disaster, it gave the world the false impression that everything was back to normal… the people of the Gulf still face enormous consequences from the spill.”- Filmmaker Joe Berlinger
For decades, oil and fishing industries coexisted on Louisiana’s immaculate shoreline. But, on April 20, 2010, the explosion of British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig changed everything – devastating the ecosystem, the culture and spirit of Gulf Coast businesses and residents, and shocking millions around the world. BLACK TIDE: VOICES FROM THE GULF tracks the lives of Louisianans living in the aftermath of the largest offshore oil spill in American history. Premiering Sunday, September 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Animal Planet teams up with Emmy Award®-winning filmmaker Joe Berlinger for a not-to-be-missed two-hour special exploring how 200 million gallons of oil forever changed a way of life and how the region is rebuilding and finding new ways to survive.
