Title: Even More Poignant
Product review: I saw "When the Levees Broke" on HBO the 2 nights it premiered. I was moved by the devastation of the cities and the spirit of the people. I arrived home this morning at 2am from spending a week in New Orleans with a volunteer group for Hurricane Katrina clean-up. 16 months later the devastation is still significant. We had an opportunity to go through the lower 9th ward, which is still a ghost town. In the background right now I'm listening to myself narrate as I'm filming the footage that I'd taken in the lower 9th ward. I hear myself saying "Oh my God" and "Unbelievable" frequently, and that is only because I was at a loss for words to describe what I was seeing and feeling. Personal possessions, baby clothes, furniture, the stories of the people still traumatized to this day. I'm purchasing Spike Lee's documentary to add to my own personal footage and photographs. This nightmare should NEVER be forgotten.
