Gulf Coast Love Story brings to the screen the hopes and struggles of Gulf coast communities on the front lines of LNG exports, petrochemicals, and climate change. The film listens to a poet, chef, musician, dancer, photographer and painters. These are the stories of people and communities that are remembering, healing, visioning and building a movement for a healthy future.
