PBS Newshour: Documents the Culture and Curses of SOLA

Jon Bowermaster's latest documentary, "SOLA: Louisiana Water Stories", looks at the relationship between man and water, from the rich culture of Cajun Country to the environmental disasters that have tested the region. The list of environmental issues affecting the Gulf waterways and its people is a long one: the world's largest Dead Zone, coastal erosion, toxic dumping, and an 85- mile industrial corridor known as Cancer Alley.
