Trouble the Water's Blurbs

About me:

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, this astonishingly powerful documentary is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, Trouble the Water takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen.

The film is executive produced by Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes of Louverture Films and introduces the music of Black Kold Madina. The US distributor is Zeitgeist Films.

Trouble the Water opens the day before the storm makes landfall—just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that most tourists know. Kimberly Rivers Roberts, an aspiring rap artist, is turning her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. “It’s going to be a day to remember,” Kim declares. As the hurricane begins to rage and the floodwaters fill their world and the screen, Kim and her husband Scott continue to film their harrowing retreat to higher ground and the dramatic rescues of friends and neighbors.

The filmmakers document the couple’s return to New Orleans, the devastation of their neighborhood and the appalling repeated failures of government. Weaving an insider’s view of Katrina with a mix of verité and in-your-face filmmaking, Trouble the Water is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes—two unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.

Trouble the Water will open in New York and Los Angeles on August 22, 2008 with a nationwide release to follow.

Lady MaDia	Apr 5 2009 9:51 PM New Orleans A courtesan, not old and yet no longer young, who shuns the sunlight that the illusion of her former glory be preserved. The mirrors in her house are dim and the frames are tarnished;a ll her house is dim and beautiful with age.... And those whom she recieves...come to her in an eternal twilight.... New Orleans...a courtesan whose hold is strong upon the mature, to whose charm the young must respond. And all who leave her? Return to her when she smiles across her languid fan.... New Orleans. -from "The Tourist,"New Orleans Sketches, by William Faulkner,1925
