Deepwater Horizon film

Accuracy was the top priority for filmmakers of a new movie about the 2010 BP ‘Deepwater Horizon’ oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 offshore workers, according to the director and lead actor. The film, entitled "Deepwater Horizon", had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept 13. The film focuses on the hours before and after the rig explosion on April 20, 2010, that led to the worst offshore oil disaster in American history. (Source: Marine Link 09/14/16)
