Halfway through filming City Slickers, a massive oil spill struck Cape Town's Table Bay, devastating nearby colonies of African penguins. Crew member Brian Slobe spent months documenting the tragedy, while his partner, Debbie Fellner, participated in the volunteer effort to save the birds. See his photos and read her account of the experience.
