Summary
In February 2022, a group of professional divers were sucked hundreds of feet into an oil pipe, deep beneath the Caribbean sea. They could have been saved. But they weren’t. They were left to die.
This is their story. The story of how their ordinary day at work turned into an unimaginable horror.
Following their story has led us to lucrative contracts, failing safety standards and secretive political relationships…
And to a question: why were those divers left to die?
This is Pipeline.
Episodes 1 and 2 are released on 22nd May, with episodes released weekly thereafter.
