On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig was 42 miles southeast of Venice, Louisiana, working in waters 5,000 feet deep and drilling 13,000 feet under the seabed below.
 
At 9:45 p.m. high-pressure methane gas from the well explodes into a firestorm on the deck of the rig. Workers scramble for lifeboats. Most escape the flames but eleven people are killed in the immediate aftermath. Seventeen more are seriously injured.
 
The spill prompted a massive emergency response involving local, state, federal, nonprofit, private and international resources. It was the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.
 
The FBI and the Heart of America Joint Terrorism Task Force, in cooperation with the US Department of Homeland Security asked Nusura to write, shoot and produce a documentary film examining strategies and innovative approaches employed by responders that can help other communities, states and agencies better handle a food safety/security incident. The film debuted at the third annual International Symposium on Agroterrorism.
