| User ReviewJenny UAfter helping with Hurricane Katrina clean-up, this film resonated with me and the anger I feel towards my government. Instead of being overtly political, this film focuses on the everyday struggles of those effected most by the disaster in New Orleans. Worth seeing. |
| User ReviewGail AMany scenes are well presented, but other material should have been edited out. Infighting amongst the film-makers is of limited interest to the viewer. |
| User ReviewErica TI recommend this doc as it shows how this tragic situation completely changed so many lives. It was interesting how the two directors would disagree on what to film and if they should or should not provide monetary assistance to some of people that shared their stories. |
