The BP blowout in the Gulf of Mexico — one of the world’s biggest environmental crimes, and the biggest environmental disaster in US history — was not an accident. Nor was the cover-up by BP and the Obama White House.
In the documentary film The Big Fix, we learn that industry and government PR was designed to mislead us into thinking that the oil was mostly gone. It is not.
With thousands of Gulf residents critically ill from the oil and toxic dispersants illegally sprayed in order to disguise the amount of oil, it’s high time the truth was told on film. As seen on this trailer, The Big Fix is in.
Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life.
From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections,
the threat is global—and it is growing.
What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.
Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media
barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context
needed to understand what is truly at stake.
That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..
For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise.
We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context.
And when the world looks away, we stay focused.
But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.
We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions.
And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to
support independent Indigenous journalism.
Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.
Thank you,
John Ahni Schertow
Founder and Editor in Chief
