The Big Spill

The Big Spill

A look at the failure of technology and policy in preventing, containing and cleaning up the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. Broadcast nationally by PBS on NOVA.
"The Big Spill steers clear of finger-pointing and other knee-jerk conclusions throughout its rounded, well-researched examination.... [This] documentary will be difficult to top for its comprehensiveness, clarity, and fairmindedness.... What makes The Big Spill particularly noteworthy is its long-view stance."

Kenneth M. Chenko, The Bergen Record

"A first-rate program - distinguished by its comprehensive scope, dazzling photography, computer generated graphics and pointed interviews with all the main players.... Smartly written, produced and directed."

Eric Mink, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
