After the Flood in New Orleans
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Aspiring rap artist Kimberly Roberts and her husband Scott Roberts were trapped by floodwaters in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Now, with community support, they’re trying to start a new life in the face of government indifference. They’re the subjects of a new film, "Trouble the Water," co-directed by Tia Lessin. It opens on Friday Aug. 22 at the IFC Center, and at ImageNation at the Faison Firehouse Theater (124th St. bet. St. Nicholas Avenue & Morningside).

Very moving. It is a scandal that New Orleans, Louisiana and the Federal Government have never seen fit to construct an adeqaute flood protection system. Holland was able to achieve this in the 17th century.
