Deepwater Horizon (2016)
BP cut corners. Eleven workers died. The Gulf paid for decades.
Where to Watch
Synopsis
Dramatizes the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico — the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. Eleven workers were killed and 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled.
Our Review
BP's decision calculus — cutting safety costs to stay on schedule, overriding the warnings of workers on the ground — is the same calculus asbestos companies made for decades.
Who Should Watch
Workers and their families. Anyone who has experienced workplace exposure due to corporate cost-cutting.
