We recently changed our netflix subscription to three dvds at a time. I am finally getting to see things that I have been meaning to get around to.
I recently came across Trouble the Water
"Filmmakers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal recount a surprising tale of heroism in New Orleans, where a wannabe rapper and her husband brave the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina to rescue their neighbors. Featuring live video diary footage from the couple, the Oscar-nominated documentary is both a poignant portrait of a family's will to survive and a startling portrayal of Katrina's devastating power"
Honestly, this film wrenched my heart. I felt like the real story behind this film was the racism and classism that undoubtedly contributed this tragedy.
I recommend this film to anyone interested in learning the real story behind the hurricane.
After you check out the film check out Kimberly Rivers Roberts myspace page to check out her music. The song Amazing in particular is pretty amazing in itself.
