Summaries

This documentary feature chronicles the struggles of Campo's Marina, the oldest family-owned business in Louisiana, in their efforts to be made whole after the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Isaac and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.—Anonymous

Louisiana, USA. Following the explosion of the deep sea drilling platform, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for 87 days, until it was capped on July 15, 2010. The total discharge is estimated at 4.9 million barrels (210 million gallons). Through water closures, contaminated product, bureaucratic red tape, leadership incompetence, lost income and lawsuits, the Campo family endures. Despite a direct hit by Hurricane Isaac, the assumed death knell to their struggle to maintain some semblance of their way of life, the St. Bernard community endures.—Edward Trent Robinson
