"black wave: the legacy of the exxon valdez"
Edited on Mon Dec-07-09 12:46 AM by niyad
for those who have not yet seen it, I urge you to watch this heartbreaking documentary (interesting that the major financial backing came from canadian sources)

In the early hours of March 24th 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil supertanker runs aground in Alaska. It discharges millions of gallons of crude oil. The incident becomes the biggest environmental catastrophe in North American history.
For twenty years, Riki Ott and the fishermen of the little town of Cordova, Alaska have waged the longest legal battle in U.S. history against the world’s most powerful oil company – ExxonMobil. They tell us all about the environmental, social and economic consequences of the black wave that changed their lives forever. This is the legacy of the Exxon Valdez.
