Moving away from The Simpsons and Spinal Tap to direct his first documentary, Harry Shearer's The Big Uneasy is a smart, well-argued critique of one of the most shameful moments in recent American history.
The film follows three remarkable people - the leaders of two scientific investigation teams, and one whistleblower - as they reveal the true story of why New Orleans flooded, and why it could happen again.
Here, Harry explained his reasons for making The Big Uneasy, his disgust at his country's response to a so-called "natural disaster" and how he hopes President Obama takes some time to watch the film.
