2012 Sundance Predictions: Margaret Brown’s The Great Invisible

Date:

#26. The Great Invisible – Margaret Brown

For the record I’m horrible at predicting what docs show up Sundance, but we’re hopeful that after showing The Order of Myths in 2008 that Margaret Brown will be back spilling her third doc into the U.S Docu Comp. section. The Great Invisible received a production grant through the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program and recently received some love from the Cinereach folks.

Gist: The Great Invisible looks at the global oil economy through the lens of characters that work in the oil and fishing industries on the Gulf Coast. This look into the personal stories behind the tragic 2010 BP Oil Spill and uncovers how government and corporate interests respond in the wake of an environmental crisis, and the way this affects a region and culture so rooted in nature.

Producer: Jason Orans (Goodbye Solo, Dare, Night Catches Us)
