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.

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."
