Katrina documentaries?
I'm looking for any good recommendations on Katrina documentaries. I recently watched one I got from the History Channel. I really wasn't too impressed with it.
I guess I wanted more of the stories, more of how things went wrong, etc.
Is Spike Lee's "When the Levees Failed" any good? Any others?

Yes, Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke" is phenomenal -- it's a bit brutal at times, but totally worth it. One of the best docs of last year and certainly one of Lee's best efforts.

In addition, I was watching the news yesterday and they were talking about another documentary involving Spike Lee collaborating with some group, and they gave out cameras to kids aged 12-20 from the New Orleans area. I don't know the name of the doc though.

Thanks for the info. I think I might get When the Levees broke during DDD's next sale.
If there's any other Katrina DVDs out there, I'd like to know. Seems like there was soooo much on the news about it (and rightly so), I'm surprised more wasn't compiled on DVD.
