Our nation was riveted as we watched thousands left to die when Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. As the national conversation turned to race and poverty, volunteerism shot way up. Folks noticed the huge disparities in our country and jumped up to do something.
Three years later, where are we? What happened to the promises to rebuild? Where do Katrina survivors live? Where are the jobs?
Trouble the Water explores these questions through the amazing story of Kim and Scott Roberts, two people from New Orleans who survived the worst of the storm, then began a long struggle to rebuild their lives. The film takes audiences on a journey that is by turns heart stopping, infuriating, inspiring and empowering.
Trouble the Water won the prestigious Grand Jury prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, and was called "one of the best American documentaries in recent memory," by the New York Times.
By going to see it this weekend, you can help it reach a wider audience and make a bigger impact.
