In 1979, the village of Seadrift, Texas, about 3 ½ hours south of
Houston, became a major focus of TV and newspaper coverage when clashes
between Vietnamese and native-born fishermen climaxed with Sau Van
Nguyen shooting Billy Joe Aplin to death. This in itself was enough to
make the headlines but when a jury found Sau not guilty, the shit really
hit the fan. Seadrift, already a magnet for the KKK because of earlier
violent but non-fatal clashes, became a battleground between two camps
that superficially had the same goals, to become wealthy fishing for
crabs and shrimp just like Gary Sinise’s character in “Forrest Gump”.

Although I have been reading any number of articles about the honey bee
decline in recent years, this deeply informative and politically urgent
documentary contained many new revelations, starting with the fact that
most pollination taking place today is not done by “free range” honey
bees but by commercial firms that transport truckloads of hives to
customers, mostly in California, who pay hundreds of thousands of
dollars to make sure that their almonds, apples, apricots, etc. can bear
fruit.
