Should Be Required Viewing

If you have not yet seen it, run don't walk to catch When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts on HBO. It's a brilliant documentary about Katrina and the aftermath. It moved me in so many ways. My emotions ran the gamut from rage to just incredible heartache. I'm not normally a huge Spike Lee fan but this is probably his best work to date. He focuses strictly on the people of New Orleans and gives them an outlet to speak their anger, frustration and misery over this ongoing tragedy.

It's mind boggling that a year later most of New Orleans is still in ruins.

Catch this if you can. Really.
