Film: Trouble the Water
|
Free screening! TROUBLE THE WATER “The how-we-lost-our-home movies taken by New Orleans native Kimberly Roberts during Hurricane Katrina are the spine of…a film that’s as harrowing for what Mother Nature can do as for what the U.S. Government can’t.” –John Anderson, Newsday
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Trouble the Water is directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal. The film tells the story of an aspiring rap artist and her streetwise husband, trapped in New Orleans by deadly floodwaters, who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning. It's a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes that takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen [note courtesy of AFI Docs]. “[A]n ingeniously fluid narrative structure that, when combined with Ms. Roberts’s visuals, news material and their own 16-millimeter film footage, ebbs and flows like great drama.” –Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.
