| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottIt’s Buckles’ first film, and it’s an exceptional debut. Blending archival footage, singular animation and a wealth of interviews, he delivers a vital document that is at once intimate, honest, engaging and indelible. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeKatrina Babies is an assertion of presence, a proclamation that the devastating hurricane is not simply a past story, but a present one too. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayBuckles’ greatest asset is his subjects, many of whom have never spoken before about the trauma that the adults and authority figures in their lives have expected them to endure, bravely and stoically. |
| The New York TimesLisa KennedyKatrina Babies is deeply personal and thoughtfully political. |
| User ReviewbertobellamyYoung filmmaker Edward Buckles Jr. goes through a cathartic experience by asking the black people who suffered the Katrina disaster as children one simple question: "are you ok?" 'Katrina Babies' frames the struggle of the black community during the aftermath of the hurricane. The interviews are as sad as impactful, but Buckles Jr. isn't interested in melodrama; these conversations try to bring awareness to the importance of providing aid — physical and mental — to everyone, not just to white people. This documentary must perdure as a fair claim of the injustice in the United States. Everyone deserves salvation after catastrophes like this one, but 'Katrina Babies" sadly reminds us that only white lives matter. |
