We're just wrapping up the editing of a beautiful, provocative film about Southern Louisiana - "SoLa, Louisiana Water Stories" - about man's relationship with water in a part of the world where everywhere you look you're surrounded by bayou, swamp or wetlands, the Mississippi River or Gulf of Mexico. Home to the most unique and vital culture in America, every Cajun has a story - or two, three or more - about ... water.
Today too many of those stories are negative. SoLa's waterways are home to some serious environmental problems, including oil and gas spills, petrochemical waste, fertilizer run-off from its neighbors and coastal erosion that is disappearing twenty-five square miles of Southern Louisiana each year.
Today between 8 and 9 a.m. EST - August 27 - "ABC's Good Morning America" and Sam Champion are excerpting from our film, taking their own look at one of the most serious and mysterious of problems, a growing Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico.
