AFTER THE SPILL : Louisiana Water Stories II 

Five years after BP’s Deepwater Horizon exploded and sank in April 2010, has life returned to normal along Louisiana’s coastline? Or has it been changed forever?

When the well exploded we were putting the finishing touches on SoLa, Louisiana Water Stories, which we’d begun filming in 2008. That film captured a way of life in SoLa pre-spill that many now believe will never return.

Since the spill we have returned many times, with cameras, to interview fishermen, scientists, politicians, environmentalists, and oil-rig workers seeking answers as to how the coast of Louisiana has changed. What really happened to all that oil? What about the dispersant used to push it beneath the surface? How has the spill impacted local economies as well as human health and the health of both marine life and the Gulf itself? Has Louisiana’s coastline been changed forever?

Claire Allman Talks about Receiving the Girl Scout Silver Award

Claire Allman, Manhattan Beach, CA student, received the Girl Scout Silver Award (GSCA) as a teenager, an accolade given to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade registered Girl Scout Cadettes that complete a seven step journey. The GSCA is the highest national award that Girl Scouts in grades six through eight are able to obtain. Claire Allman says her experience as a scout led to the fostering of her personal, emotional, intellectual, and social attributes, and she credits much of her continued academic success to the skills she obtained through projects that were conducive to her development. The first step in receiving the Girl Scout Silver award is identifying the issues you care about, an initial challenge that Claire says helped her learn to clarify goals before beginning her journey. Eligible Girl Scouts (any registered cadette) are given the opportunity to pick/create their own Silver Award project, which will be completed within their local community in a group setting, or through solo activities. In addition, they are given complete control over the development and planning of their project. Claire emphasizes the importance of the final step, which requires you to reflect on and share the experiences gained in the process of seeing the project through to fruition. Although girls are given the freedom to create their own projects, they do have to meet a few general guidelines and prerequisites, including but not limited to: Cadettes are encouraged to develop projects that meet a specific need within their community. The project idea does not have to be original, however the planning and organization must be conducted by the scout. If a group project is undertaken, each member of the group has to be responsible for a specific task in facilitating the completion of the project. Claire says that having the choice to participate within a group project, or pursue the award independently, gives girls that are less socially inclined the opportunity to thrive in a solo environment. Cadettes are given the choice of several "pathways" that they can use to complete their journey and obtain a Silver Award. The first pathway is the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE), which requires you to complete at least one cadette journey, and then share the experience using the pathway GSLE final report form. The less common route to the award is pathway B, which has more prerequisites and requirements.
