April 12, 2011 – For One Cajun Shrimper, a Journey from Despair to Defiance

April 20 marks the one-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon blowout, and it's still too early to measure the complete cost of the ensuing disaster.

Produced by Barry Yeoman and Richard Ziglar. Narrated by Barry Yeoman.
