Grads produce oil spill documentary

Georgia Public Broadcasting will air at 7:00 tonight a UGA-produced documentary about the Gulf oil spill.  Black and Blue: Beneath the Gulf Oil Disaster will feature the work of UGA marine sciences professor Samantha Joye, as she and her team assess the long-term impact of the spill on the environment.  Three UGA grads videotaped, edited and produced the project; Steve Bell ‘79, Bill Evelyn ‘79 and Geof Gilland ‘86.  For two weeks in early June, Bill joined Professor Joye on the research cruise into the Gulf of Mexico, capturing real-time drama into the nation’s worst maritime oil spill.  If you’d like more information about the professor’s work, click here.
