Wall to Wall's "eerily accurate" docudrama which aired just weeks before Hurricane Katrina struck won widespread praise for its extraordinarily prophetic journalism when it aired in the UK on 25th September.
Originally broadcast on FX in the USA in June 2005 three months before Hurricane Katrina hit the state of Louisiana, this feature-length docu-drama proved eerily prophetic.
"You couldn't help wondering how a British TV company could work all this out but the world's most powerful government couldn't" said the Daily Telegraph, continuing "Oil Storm did an alarmingly fine job of exposing the glaring weakness of the US economy".
The Observer wrote "few films can have been more accurate in their portrayal of impending doom than this effort".
The Independent on Sunday called the film "disturbingly prophetic".
The Times advised "The opening sequences are uncanny, with 100,000 people forced to sleep in the Superdome. Given this, the bulk of the film which concerns the ensuing, year-long oil shortage, should be watched with care."
Oil has been the life blood of America for the past 100 years but in September 2005 a hurricane blew into the gulf of Mexico and severed the supply of oil to the nation.
This is a dramatised documentary that asks what would happen to America if the oil ran out.
