In 2009, actor Stephen Fry visited a number of fishing communities in the southern states of the USA, the very communities that were hit by the BP oil spill some months later. In this warm and personal film, Fry and his zoologist partner Mark Carwardine return to explore the impact of the world's most notorious environmental disaster on the people, the wildlife, and Fry himself. Besides meeting the fishing communities, Stephen and Mark get involved in the conservation effort, meet those responsible for the Herculean task of cleaning up the mess, and ask what can be done in the future to prevent such a catastrophe from happening again. Their story is one of warmth, humor, and hope in the face of overwhelming odds
