It takes a certain type of person to be able to work in this industry and this movie did an amazing job at not only recognising what happened on the Deep Water Horizon, or remembering those 11 people who lost their lives but also to make us all remember that now there are so many people putting their lives in a dangerous situation for everyone else. May the people who have lost their lives and not only on the Deep Water Horizon but on any oil rig RIP xxx

That oil under the seabed is quite literally dead dinosaurs. That crude oil is used to make everything plastic, rubber, gasoline, motor oil, asphalt for roads, and fuel to make everything else. It's pretty mind blowing.

[@Acoustic_Theory]

I can tell by Mike's response to Mark's question about something being done differently, quickly giving a pat answer about evidence being under the sea and giving Transocean/Halliburton/BP the benefit of the doubt, he might have been threatened by someone with retribution if he says the wrong thing to the press. There has to be much more to the story and to his feelings than just that. He also uses a performative "I have to tell myself every day" to preface his answer, which betrays that he has much deeper feelings or other information that he is not sharing in this interview. He may be under a gag order.

And you totally did just as the media did, focused on what happened to cause the disaster, and totally dismissed the focus of his point (and subsequently, the whole point of the movie), the fact that 11 people died that night, and that they and the survivors were totally forgotten about after the disaster. Of course, he's probably got a lot of deeper feelings and thoughts on the whole disaster, but again, that is not the point of this movie. So why even focus on it, especially when there are dozens of videos here on youtube alone that focus on said "conspiracy narratives".

Making a film about a disaster like this doesn’t mean you need to donate the proceeds to victims or anyone, the filmmakers are making a film.

Any move to give the money to the families from the film would just be a kindhearted gesture, they’re not entitled to all the media money surrounding the disaster

[@suburbangardenpermaculture3117]

Mike Williams was a paid person on the movie set, he was there the whole time. That's why he's in this interview with Mark. None of the other survivors would speak to them at all, BP intimidated them all into silence. All the rig survivors got big payouts in settlemets with BP and transocean, with those who died, their families, getting more than any other party. Mike got paid from that, and from the production of this movie.
