Wikipedia article
'The Big Fix' is a 2012 documentary film about two filmmakers, Josh and Rebecca Tickell, as they travel along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico meeting the residents whose lives were changed by the 'Deepwater Horizon' oil spill. The film argues that BP has utilized the oil dispersant Corexit in the Gulf to create the illusion that the Louisiana beaches are safe and the water (and seafood) uncontaminated.
The film briefly features an interview with G4S security guard Omar Mateen, who four years later would perpetrate the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.
