"Haynesville couldn’t possibly be timelier. That black cloud of oil spilling into our nation’s waters has turned an abstract fear into our very real doom. Kallenberg’s impressive act of journalism is both a small shaft of hope in our ever darkening waters and a warning tale about what happens to communities when big energy moves in, both for the better and the worse."

The Filmmaker said this in the interview: "One of the things I do very well is that I am good at meeting people and getting into their personal stories.

People felt that their portrayal was unfair and withdrew. If you betray a Southerner’s trust, they go back to being the most shut off people in the country."
Damn right. I am a historian on the left coast and this is exactly what happens and why I have been able to dig up embarrassing, but important stories when others got the doors slammed in their faces. It also helps to have a mentor historian who vetted you and vouches for your integrity.
I am going to buy this movie on account of his quote.
