Synopsis
“It was frightening. We just really had no idea what to expect. There was a high degree of fear and anticipation of the worst. And unfortunately our worst dreams came true. We smell fumes from oil; is it safe to stay here and breathe? Can we get in the water? Can we walk on the beach? Can we eat the seafood?” — Robert Craft The mayor of the coastal resort town of Gulf Shores, Alabama recounts the ordeal his community went through after the Deepwater Horizon disaster — when massive amounts of oil came ashore on their beaches — and how the environment and economy is doing seven years later.
