If you'd like some insight on what it was really like before, during and after Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing disaster, try to find the brilliant "When the Levees Broke" by Spike Lee. It's in 2 parts and runs 255 minutes total. It's quite the tale and it's told from the perspective of the real victims. Mind boggling how with all of our technology, hundreds of thousands of people didn't get the help they needed - even from their insurance companies. They even mentioned the rescue workers that had made it all the way from Canada to help - which residents couldn't understand how Canadians could get through, but not their own military.Photo from danakay.
