Leave your thoughts about Desert Bayou.
| EURWebKam WilliamsA damning documentary which exposes FEMA's wholesale failings while depicting a nation still deep in denial and willing to look the other way despite the ongoing suffering of a long-marginalized segment of society. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A fascinating glimpse at the almost endless obstacles given to Katrina survivors... |
| New York PressNida NajarDoes great justice to the appalling aftermath of the biggest natural disaster to hit America in our lifetime. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghThe result is by turns sad, infuriating, frustrating and cautiously hopeful. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldA thoughtful and interesting look at a little-told Katrina story. |
| I.E. WeeklyAmy NicholsonThematic schizophrenia...it agrees that the media stereotype blacks as uneducated thugs and rappers, while its own main characters are crack addicts, ex-cons, and Master P. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirA fascinating and guardedly hopeful tale about race, class, religion and geography in American life. |
| Entertainment WeeklyClark CollisThe lengthy and often heartbreaking interview sequences in the second half ultimately reveal a story that is, metaphorically at least, a tad less black-and-white. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile the experience may have been highly rewarding for its participants, viewers may be less than enthralled. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere are thousands of untold stories still left to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It's worth hearing the ones Alex LeMay shares in this compassionate, if somewhat underdeveloped, documentary. |
