Every two and a half days in the US, a significant oil spill fouls the environment. BROKE documents what happened when a buried oil pipeline on California's scenic Gaviota Coast broke in May 2015. Director Gail Osherenko, a former Vermont resident and academic, puts the incident in context by exploring another Santa Barbara oil spill, in 1969, that helped launch the environmental movement, the EPA, and clean air and water laws.
