I do not ask to travel the easy road
but for the courage to endure the road I am on.

I do not ask for fulfillment
but for the humility to accept what is in my path.

I do not ask for perfection in all I do
but for the wisdom not to repeat my mistakes.

I do not ask of these gifts before saying
thank you for all you have given me.

~Chief Red Cloud , Ojlala Sioux 1819-1891

This weekend, The Big Fix (unveils a huge coverup around the Gulf Oil Spill) premieres in Los Angeles.  The goal is to get 1,000 people to the theater and to have the movie compete for an Academy Award.   This is your personal invitation (and everyone you know) to come see the movie this weekend and join the directors and creators of this film for a Q & A (Josh Tickell & Rebecca Harrell will be at each screening).

‘The Big Fix’ premieres this weekend at the AMC Broadway Cinema on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA (Showtimes: Sat at noon and 2:30pm, Sunday at noon and 7PM).

Here’s some info about this movie which the New Orleans Times Picayune calls “EXPLOSIVE” and Gambit calls “MASSIVELY IMPORTANT”. The UK GUARDIAN says “It’s not every film that sets off on a mini-road trip with Peter Fonda, only to veer off into a night-vision goggle surveillance of a BP facility….”

The Big Fix is part daring journalism, part archival investigation and part eco-horror story. The Big Fix features Peter Fonda and received critical acclaim earlier this year as the only Official Selection documentary of the Cannes Film Festival.

Through interviews with scientists, government officials, journalists (including Rolling Stone’s Jeff Goodell who examined the Gulf spill in his article “The Poisoning”), attorneys (including New Orleans Toxic Tort attorney Stuart Smith) and Gulf States natives, The Big Fix recounts the events surrounding the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico and paints a disturbing picture of the aftermath of the largest oil spill in America’s history.

The Big Fix reveals the powerful political and corporate system that put profits over the health and long-term sustainability of people and the environment. No matter what the petroleum and government officials say, the oil is still gushing ashore, the seafood industry is wiped out, and tens, possible hundreds of thousands of locals are sick. But the truth will only ever be told if you take a stand by coming to the theater and make your support for this important story heard by purchasing a ticket.
