Check out how my city and ppl were treated...See how the country treats their own...

It's pretty long...but take time out and check out the doc...

It's coming upon 10 years and it's still a mess down here...

    It's a more in depth look on how things were when the storm came..but it talks about the levees and how they broke though..

    Treme is a good show, but it's pretty much speaking on the aftermath post Katrina ordeal...

    You can get a lot of feel with these docs and what is was like when the storm can and how the gov't acted towards the situation.

    Alot of folks just see what the news aired and things..but don't really know how it was...and how we were in this mess...

    The gov't went to Iraq and took care of those ppl, but couldn't take care of us it's own citizens...

    This one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Probably because I can feel it more by being so close. Going cleanup and help at people's house. The smell and the things I saw after will always be scarred in my mind and heart. Really a sad time for people here. Props to Spike though.

    I've watched this doc so many times and I still get angry, feel grief, disappointed, ashamed, disgusted, fear, devastation. I feel every raw negative emotion as if this just happened yesterday.
