#watchthisdoc #thecostofsilence #sundance2020 👍🏽👍🏽 “On April 20, 2010, a deadly explosion on BP’s Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling unit resulted in the largest environmental disaster in American history. To clean up the estimated 130 million gallons of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days, chemical dispersants were used in unprecedented quantities, and the public was assured that they were safe. Almost immediately, local residents and workers began to develop health problems. Nearly a decade later, they are still suffering the consequences, with no one held accountable. Mark Manning, a former deep-sea oil-field diver turned filmmaker, began his investigation into the Deepwater Horizon disaster soon after the spill began. In the intervening years, he has uncovered disturbing evidence of coordinated efforts between the petrochemical industry and the federal government to cover up an ongoing public health disaster. As the federal government now plans the world’s most extensive offshore drilling expansion, with a blanket approval of a chemical dispersant clean-up plan, The Cost of Silence is an urgent exposé of the outsize power of Big Oil and the dangers of offshore drilling.” (at Sundance Film Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B77ojt_geqMi-TWy5TzHNugiAvWnZ4WMeZcOY00/?igshid=5e0ym0kqacpx

#watchthisdoc #bewater #brucelee #goat #sundance2020 🎥✊🏽 “In 1971, before his superstardom, Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to get the opportunities to be a lead actor that eluded him in America. In the two years before his untimely death, Lee completed four films, which changed the history of film and made him a household name. Through rare archival footage, memories of family and friends, and his own words, the story of that time and Lee’s prior experiences are told with an intimacy and immediacy that have infrequently been used in earlier tellings of his legend. Growing up and living between the West and the East, Lee was ahead of his time in thinking about the transnational audience. He experienced the racist reaction of an American film industry inundated by a subservient and menacing image of Asian people—and learned he’d have to tell his own stories to escape it. Director Bao Nguyen elegantly weaves Lee’s personal struggle for visibility with that of his times and reminds us that though it was for a short time, Lee’s star burned so brightly we still see it today.” (at Sundance Film Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/B74K2OJA7nScvUKE4-cYG5dTT3d_y-lyOMysaA0/?igshid=1gwdpmf6rupz7
