In Their Own Words: Deepwater Horizon

In Their Own Words: Deepwater Horizon presents the harrowing story of how a crew of oil rig workers escaped a massive oil rig fire in the Gulf of Mexico. This program combines never-before-broadcast recordings with rare archival footage, photos and interpretive re-enactments to tell the story of how a sudden explosion left 126 men and women racing to survive... In Their Own Words created by Emmy and Peabody Award-winner Tom Jennings is a ground-breaking documentary series in which people involved with extraordinary events tell their stories through recordings made at the time. The stories are told moment by moment, in first person, in real time. No narrator. No talking heads. In Their Own Words is the closest thing to being an eyewitness, thanks to first-hand storytelling with no filters. (National Geographic)
