Spike Lee Talks About BP Oil Spill & New HBO Film @ the NABJ Convention, San Diego, CA - 07/31/10

CNN's Chris Lawrence interviewed Director Spike Lee after a screening of his new documentary, "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise."

The screening was held in San Diego during the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference.

The documentary is the follow-up to Lee's 2006 film, "When the Levees Broke" which focused on the devastation of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

"If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise" looks at life five years after Katrina and how the people of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast are now dealing with another catastrophe, the British Petroleum oil spill.

The film is set to debut on HBO in two parts on Monday, Aug 23 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) and Tuesday, Aug 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m.).
