Venice, La., is facing extinction. The small fishing community, located just 50 miles away from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, is in jeopardy, as the BP oil spill has put the livelihood of the residents in danger.

Or do they give up their jobs, their community and their heritage in an effort to flee the lasting effects of the oil spill?
