The Big Fix

This is one awesome and important film. If you are concerned about the state of our planet and the future of our democracy then this film should be on your bucket list... Don't wait till your bucket is empty to see Josh and Rebecca Tickell expose this tragic man made disaster and cover up... Josh and Rebecca Tickell along with Peter Fonda take us with them on their journey to the Gulf of Mexico for a first hand view the devastation of the BP Oil spill and the whitewashing of the facts... This film is so timely to the events unfolding in America today that is very important that this film get the distribution it deserves, go see it and recommend it to all your friends and family.

Saw the preview of this film at LACC, and got to speak to the film makers. Very good experience in both watching the film and getting the opportunity to talk to the film makers. Moved me to want to learn more about alternative ways of energy. The film makers were very intelligent and encouraging. When watching a film like this my reaction was what can I do to make a difference, I'm just one person will my contribution even matter? Luckily this question was made to the film makers and they made a good point on how even the smallest thing like word of mouth can be a great contribution. Making people aware of what is happening can lead people to change or want to find out more information. Overall this film was well done, had lots of good information.

First off, how is it that the rating is only 3.4 stars when the majority of votes have been 9-10? Someone isn't doing math correctly...

But regardless, this film doesn't need to be rated. Because it's not about the awesome creative camera angles used, or the emotion-inducing tracklist, or the rawness exposed from start to finish. It's about getting information out to the public...and since the message was conveyed so clearly and chronologically, I think it served its purpose. It was also all of those other things mentioned. So I definitely give it a 10/10. In all seriousness, you need to watch this video.

Saw the movie last night and it was excellent. Provocative, well research, emotional and powerful. It is really shocking to see the level of deceit and corruption still going on in the gulf. We got to invest in alternative energies and let go of our destructive addiction to oil.

Even though I consider myself generally well informed, I was shocked to see pieces of information that have been kept secret to the public at large. And the film provides irrefutable proof. Sometimes the truth hurts. We got to face the truth otherwise the alternative will be even more disastrous.

This begins with a simplified history of BP as a monopoly of Iranian oil with British military backing. It covers the overthrow of Mossadegh and then their arrival off the coast of Louisiana. It covers the political history of the state starting with Huey Long. In April 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil rig Deepwater Horizon had an accident.

This covers many aspects of the spill. It's the cause, and the effects. It's definitely slanted from the environmentalist's point of view. The most informative is the chemical dispersion. It pushes too hard at times but that's the filmmakers' rights. This is a necessary film especially if one is unfamiliar with the story and the issues.
