Synopsis

Nearly 5 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, prompting a campaign against BP's drilling plans in Australia.

Synopsis

The 'Steve Irwin' sails into the Great Australian Bight as part of 'Operation Jeedara,' a campaign launched by the Great Australian Bight Alliance in 2016. The mission aims to document the region's natural beauty and raise awareness about the potential environmental risks posed by BP's drilling plans. Following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, which released nearly 5 million barrels of oil, the Australian Government permitted BP to explore deeper waters. The film details the campaign's efforts to protect this vital ecosystem.
