Storm In The Gulf

Filmed during in the summer of 2005, STORM IN THE GULF exposes how Mississippi Governor and former Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour removed existing barriers for oil drilling in the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Then, in the midst of this fight, there appeared an uninvited outsider: Katrina.
