The Big Fix is a 2012 documentary film about two daring filmmakers, Josh and Rebecca Tickell, as they travel along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico meeting the residents whose livelihood has been decimated and whose health has been compromised as a result of the 2010 BP Oil Spill[2]; what they discover, is the truth beneath the service. From the filmmakers who brought you Fuel (film), the film argues that BP has continued to sow the Gulf waters with the oil dispersant Corexit to maintain the illusion that the Louisiana beaches are safe and the water (and seafood) uncontaminated.
