1 reply so far? that's pretty pathetic.
Heartbreaking documentary.
Normally not a big fan of Spike Lee's because of his reverse racism, but in this case he was right on ....
It doesnt take a brain surgeon to see that the US dropped the ball because of the old 'Haves Vs. Have Nots'. If this was a affluent area, the troops would have been there BEFORE the storm even hit.

i agree.
i'm really surprised that there isn't more conversation, especially about the Spike Lee documentary. the first two acts were excellent.
i was more angry/sad watching this than I was while watching United 93 and World Trade Center.

I was mightily impressed with the show tonight.
You can't help but get emotional at the frustration and despair. I live approximately 75 miles away from New Orleans, and will never forget the incessant helicopter flybys and convoys of vehicles coming through. It was like living in what one would imagine a war zone to be, without the gunfire and explosions. We were absolutely swamped with evacuees and refugees, and emotions were very mixed. Unfortunately, the media hyped all the negative rumors and kept people scared. This documentary does a good job at showing the chaos and confusion that exploded, expanded, and lingered for quite some time.
Spike Lee did a great job.

The shots and photographs were stunning and crystal clear in HD. I'm happy I'll have the conclusion to watch tomorrow.
