i'd like to but her music i'm from new orleans so i know first hand what they went through this is the story of at least 96% of the people born and raised there i thought my story was harsh but i keep hearing and meeting people who've had a harder hand dealt to'em peace and love to my city of forgotten people
I just saw the whole film on HBO and am moved by her story. I was saddened to see that the government was so slow to act but inspired by their triumph over tragedy. It just goes to show that God can use anybody for His glory
I went to see this movie last weekend...excellent, powerful, and better than any other documentary on Katrina, you really get an understanding of what ppl went through
Bush said, "people should listen to the local authorities." But I say, "authorities should listen to the people." Rigged voting machines, a captive useless media & corrupt politicians will NOT improve out lot.
My daughter saw this film in NYC this weekend & is buying the DVD. I must wait to see it with her next weekend because it's not showing in NJ. This film ought to be released EVERYWHERE. People say, "mistakes were made by govt" but that's not true. Govt knew what was going on every second via tax payers multi-billion dollar satelites, weather forecast reports & they damn well knew the shabbily built levees couldn't hold back trickles of salivia. The Demons watched it all unfold & did nothing.
The film is showing in select theaters & the DVD is probably not available for sale yet. Once the DVD is available, I suggest you check with Amazon first.
"When the hurricane struck the Gulf & the floodwaters rose & tore through New Orleans, it did not turn the region into a Third World country ... it revealed one." -- Danny Glover
I have mixed feelings about disaster relief. Dependence on government to help and solve problems is something that Americans should lean to do without. We experience typhoons far worse then Katrina every year and rebuilding is simply a way of life.
BTW, vote for Obama and get the nabobs out of Washington.
Hurricanes are NOT a problem as most are very survivable. The problem is the type of housing. Mobile homes, wood framed homes and constantly being rebuilt in areas that should have homes like ours on Guam and the Philippines.
the most disappointing thing to me in many years--more disappointing even than slaughter beign carried out in our name in iraq--was that bush got away with katrina. a people who can watch while one of the great cities of the world, and its most vulnerable people, are left to die by the richest government in the world had better WAKE UP and take a close look at the world you live in. love and solidarity to people of the ninth ward, scattered wherever you may be. never forget.
dare2baware; hey it's only a movie trailer. Just not information to foster an intelligent comment or discussion. I'm not saying investigation isn't warranted. Things went terribly wrong, mistakes where made. Beginning with NOLA's EP planning it would seem
I am spreading the word about this film!! I think that it should be seen by EVERYONE!! I have this on my myspace page also!! Doesnt make any sense that after all these years we still have Katrina victims!!
567 views and not one comment or rating? What is the matter with you people? Are you agreeing with America? The government? The politics? Bush? Well, I am not and I feel for those people and think they should have all the support they need.
