Millions of people along the Gulf Coast continue to be involuntarily increasing grave risk of diseases associated with crude oil and dispersants in their water, air and land. To help answer their calls for help mainly falling on deaf ears throughout the nation and overseas, Project Gulf Impact is opening a Help Center.
Despite what TV reporters are told to say today, oil continues leaking in the Gulf and now, it is even bubbling out of the ground in south Louisiana. (See: What they're hiding: Explosive SEEPS from seafloor evident in side-by-side comparison of enhanced video (29))
On a Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana barrier island, “oil oozes from a foot or two underground,” reports Fox 8 New Orleans.
P.J. Hahn, Plaquemines Parish Coastal Zone Director compared it to “Jed Clampet’s oil — All we need is the theme song to ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’… Oil just started bubbling out.”
Revisiting the island with Fox 8 news crew, Hahn dug into the ground, turning up thick, black oil not heavily weathered that "did not appear to have been dispersed.”
“I would have never thought that this oil would be this deep underground,” Hahn told Fox 8.
To help give a voice to people like Hahn and those already suffering the first stages of serous disease in the greatest humanitarian catastrophe in U.S. history, Project Gulf Impact (PGI) is on the ground, not only filming, but also preparing to open a Help Center.
Smith and film producer Richard Virgen co-founded Project Gulf Impact, recruited a team of Hollywood filmmakers, producers, videographers and others to drive forty hours from Los Angeles to the Gulf coast reported WKRG Channel 5 out of Mobile and Pensacola.
Smith feels "the real story has been misrepresented to the rest of the nation." He has been giving the people of the Gulf a voice and is preparing to expand capacity to do this even more.
His goal is to inspire reaction from the rest of the country, and make people want to help volunteer.
Smith is not the only professional filmmaker working day and night to bring truth to the public in defense of the people of the Deep South. Josh Tickell and his film crew conducted 25 interviews last week for Tickell and Rebecca Harell's new film on the heels of Sundance award winner, FUEL.
