Sachi Cunninghman, a friend of GOOD, reported, shot, and edited this excellent video portrait of a Cambodian fisherman named Phan Plork who's been hired by BP to help clean up the oil. It's about 10 minutes long, but well worth watching.

00:00/00:0000:00

Cleaning up this mess is now Phan's job. He's no longer a shrimper; he's a janitor for BP. His crew member nails it when they encounter the first rust-colored blobs: "We've hit oil, but we ain't gonna be rich."
