As the water rose, resources depleted, and exhaustion set in, the employees at Memorial Medical Center faced unimaginable choices following Hurricane Katrina. Five Days at Memorial premieres August 12 on Apple TV+

Based on actual events from Hurricane Katrina, Five Days at Memorial tells the story of the exhausted caregivers at a New Orleans hospital who were forced to make heart-wrenching decisions amidst the storm’s aftermath.

Starring Vera Farmiga, Cherry Jones, Robert Pine, Cornelius Smith Jr., Julie Ann Emery, and Adepero Oduye.

CREW INFORMATION:

Am I the only one watching this? It seems pretty well done so far. I've gotten to episode 3 and although the tone of some of the meetings is a bit cringe knowing disaster was coming there are some pretty good performances by Cherry Jones and Vera. Worth a watch if you have AppleTV+

The performances are really well done. The last episode was heartbreaking. Some of those doctors and nurses cared so much about their patients. Yet, the police were so callous. At least the chief let one say goodbye.

Worse still was the
