Script: Ian Slater

Two loaded supertankers colliding and setting the ocean aflame may sound like a "doomsday" script, but it's the theme of Flashpoint and it is a possibility. The film explains that there is no technology available to cope with such a disaster, and in a realistic, animated way it is a reminder of the dangers of tanker traffic in Canadian coastal waters.
