The film is about the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon Drilling accident, and looks at the dangers of offshore drilling. Manning is a former deep-sea oilfield diver turned filmmaker and offers a unique perspective. Reviewers note that The Cost of Silence is well-researched and thorough.[2]

The footage was filmed over nine years and Manning depicts a public health crisis involving the dispersants used to break the oil up.[3] The public health impacts from Deepwater continue to be felt in the region today.[4] Director of Photography Aaron Reuben also described the dangers involved with filming The Cost of Silence as far beyond the typical hazards, given the filming environment.[5][6]
