wrenching documentary
PostedAugust 23, 2008

from NYC
At a time when media coverage of the Katrina crisis has ceased and with it, the public's attention and funding, this is an important reminder of the utter devastation of New Orleans and the selective neglect of the Bush administration. The movie reveals that entire segments of the US population have been deemed disposable on the basis of economic disadvantage.Horrifying dilemmas challenging the moral structures of government (do we release prisoners from jail or leave them to drown?) are sketched here, revealing the craven systems underlying public institutions - systems we've so far allowed to remain in place.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
