I just finished watching this documentary done by Spike Lee on Hurricane Katrina. It is a very raw look into the tragedy that was Katrina. Spike blends news footage and personal interviews with all kinds of different people who lived in New Orleans during the storm.
The documentary is definitely a documentary in the fact that it takes the eye of the director and can be pretty raw at times. It has a strong racial tension here where Spike makes his opinion, and many others, known that there is a strong case of racism that played out. There is language and some pretty terrible images of the suffering, but it’s definitely worth the watch from my perspective.
My stomach was in a sunken position for most of it. Regardless whether or not I agreed with many of Spike’s points, I did agree that the response to this tradegy was not very good.
You can pick up this movie at Blockbuster. Click on the image to be directed to it’s Amazon page.
