    The oil spill obviously was horrific, the worst environmental accident in US history. But that's not the worst thing happening in the gulf." (Jon Bowermaster)

    When BP's Deepwater Horizon well exploded and sank in April 2010 -- causing the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry -- award-winning filmmaker Jon Bowermaster was putting the finishing touches on SoLa, Louisiana Water Stories, which captured the pre-spill way of life. In the last five years, he has returned to the area many times. Through stunning visual documentation and stirring interviews, the film investigates how the disaster affected local economies and health, and what really happened to all that oil -- and asks if life along Louisiana's coastline has been changed forever.
