THE CONSEQUENCE OF OIL

An Industry Insider Lifts the Veil On the BP Spill

Mark Manning, director of The Road to Fallujah, went undercover into Iraq to bring you real stories of the Iraqi people.   Now he seeks to reveal an INSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE on the BP spill and its aftermath.  With 20 years of experience in the offshore oil business, he intends to shine light on the truth and consequences of the BP oil spill.

The Consequence of Oil is a 12-part documentary series that intends to keep the light of information and national interest shining on the people and environment of the Gulf.  As national media attention fades and the consequences begin, Global Access Media will be there to cover the issues and tell the stories of the people, the environment and the ecosystem affected by this disaster.

UNIQUE TO THIS PROJECT, Manning has over 20 years experience in the offshore oil industry with extensive experience in all the aspects of offshore operations that are being conducted today in relation to this crisis. He has experience capping sub-sea leaking wellheads for the very company tasked with the sub-sea work on the BP wellhead failure. This unique background will help to pierce the corporate veil of misinformation that exists due to the lack of understanding by the media of the complicated and mysterious nature of the offshore oil industry. 

Manning’s background covering the consequences of war to Iraqi civilians further enhances and informs Global Access Media’s series coverage of the Gulf disaster. While the specifics are different, there is a striking similarity between the war in Iraq and the crisis in the Gulf. Both involve the perilous combination of people living in the midst of an ongoing and growing crisis with a lack of adequate investigative reporting. This combination breeds unnecessary suffering, lack of adequate procedures to address the crisis and resulting permanent damage.
