"One of the most eloquent records we have of a tragedy that brought out some of the most impressively alive men and women in New Orleans." -The New Yorker

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and a 2009 Academy Award nominee, this astonishingly powerful documentary takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen. Incorporating remarkable home video footage shot by Kimberly Rivers Roberts-an aspiring rap artist trapped with her husband in the Ninth Ward-Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal weave this insider's view of Katrina with a devastating portrait of the hurricane's aftermath. Followed by a Q&A with directors and producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal. (2008, 93 min., Dirs. Carl Deal and Tia Lessin)
