Out of Sight, Out of Mind
August 30, 2010
It has been five years since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, and more than four months since the BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Responsible parties would like us to believe that these crises are over, but Out of Sight, Out of Mind tells a different story. Through personal accounts, we hear harrowing accounts of the truth: The decisions of public and private actors following these disasters have caused displacement and long-term devastating affects on individuals and communities.
This 21-minute documentary, produced by Advancement Project in partnership with WashingtonKoen Media Productions, features residents impacted by post-Katrina and post-BP oil disaster polices. It asks a profound question: Is this just democracy in America.
