This film packs a wallop! It has stunning visuals and a gripping tale of 
greed and corruption. You'll see up-close and personal what mainstream 
media and our government would rather you didn't.

On April 20th, 2010, the *Deepwater Horizon* oil rig exploded off the 
Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven BP workers and spewing 200 million 
barrels of oil into the ocean.

*DIRTY ENERGY* brings to light the personal stories of the Louisiana 
fishermen and local residents directly impacted by the worst 
environmental disaster in U.S. history. Filmmaker Bryan D. Hopkins gains 
intimate access to the lives and homes of these people, as they struggle 
to rebuild their lives and contend with emerging health crises related 
to the toxic dispersants used to clean up the spill.

DIRTY ENERGY paints a poignant portrait of the human cost of the 
calamity, and the systematic failure by BP and the U.S. Government to 
effectively and transparently manage the environmental impact.

Three after the disaster, thousands of families who have lost their 
livelihood, their health and/or family members are still waiting for 
recompense while BP maneuvers to try and avoid making full compensation 
payments.

"/The greatest environmental disaster with no end in sight! Eleven 
workers dead. Millions of gallons of oil gushing for months (and years) 
to come. Jobs vanishing. Creatures dying. A pristine environment 
destroyed for generations. A mega-corporation that has lied and 
continues to lie, and a government that refuses to protect the people/." 
~Seize BP

"/BP is now engaged in an aggressive legal and public-relations campaign 
to limit how much it pays individuals and businesses for the losses its 
reckless behavior caused./"
~Stephen Teague, June, 2013, NYT Op-Ed

"/It takes some cheek to go and use a sunflower logo when your business 
is dirty oil"  ~ /Ben Stewart, Greenpeace activist

/"We ought to take him offshore and dunk him 10 feet underwater and pull 
him up and ask him 'What's that all over your face?/"
~Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish, about BP CEO Tony Hayward
