Скачать или смотреть Frontline: Anatomy of an Oil Spill (1990)

From the Garbage Kingdom Archives: Anatomy of an Oil Spill is a hard-hitting investigative documentary from PBS Frontline that exposes the deadly consequences of America's oil addiction—and the catastrophic failures that followed one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.

In 1989 the supertanker Exxon Valdez was the catalyst for a massive oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska. This documentary dives into the legal, corporate, and ecological aftermath of a major oil spill. It examines how Big Oil evades responsibility, how government regulators fall asleep at the wheel, and how local communities and marine ecosystems are left to drown in toxic sludge.

This episode is more than history—it’s a cautionary tale still playing out today, especially on Native land, where pipelines slice through sacred ground and oil money twists politics.
