On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was forever changed when Hurricane Katrina made landfall. One year later, director Spike Lee lensed this four-part HBO documentary event that recounts one of the United States' most profound natural disasters through intimate words and indelible images. Also included is Spike Lee's one-year later revisting of the scene.

From the National Guard stand pointI dont even have to watch this to know exactly what it is. The same thing that most "Katrina Victims" say. It was everyone else's fault. The fact of the matter is that if the people of N.O. LA acted like intelligent human beings hardly anyone would have died. Yes, Nagim(Chocolate City Ray) and Governor Blanco (can't say what she is on here) are wrong for some of it but if a storm the size of the Gulf of Mexico is bearing down on you would it not be a good idea to leave. That is all you need to know. Now don't waste your money on "a Spike Lee joint"..Score: 1/5

Left StrandedIn response to "medic" most of the people you are referring to stayed behind because they were either poor, elderly, or infirmed and had no choice. Our govenment left them there to die. I thought the documentary was very well done and showed what is exactly wrong with this country. I love this country, but this was not our shining moment at all.....Score: 4/5
"Great Job Brownie!"This movie help shed light as to what the citizens of New Orleans actually went through. This movie shows the extent of how the government failed the people of that region. CHANGE will happen!.Score: 5/5
As a Native NEW ORLEANIANSpike Lee did a great job with the interviews which were very moving, but was too ploiticized. Why cant spike lee just leave politics out of his films? if you non- locals want to know who is most to blame, BLAME our former Gov. Kathleen Blanco and "Willy" Ray Nagin who disregarded Washingtons offer to pre-landfall help of National Guard Troops with food and water. funny how the media was quick to jump straight to the feds.Granted Blanco and Nagin didnt know that the city would flood for sure, but where they made the mistake was to prepare for the worst. another failure was using the superdome as a shelter. For years it had been used for a shelter in the city whenever a hurricane was threatening the area, but if you flood the city you have 90,000 people stranded in the middle of downtown. The bottom line is as much as i wanna blame all higer ups, it is a risk you take when you live in a city 8 ft below sea level..Score: 2/5

Great WorkSpike Lee does a very good job of trying to fully explain everything that went on during the catastrophe in New Orleans, this is probably the most significant film I've seen in a very long time..Score: 5/5
Must SeeWhen I saw this on HBO is could not turn a way. Spike can tell a story. He can really tell an important story of failure. The stories of the people and the images has stayed with me. When people put too much faith in government officials watch out. Petty politics between the Mayor of New Orleans and the Gov. of Louisiana; the lame actions by "Brownie" and President George Bush will make you really think...how could this happen? This is an unfortunate lesson that the world must learn from and never duplicate..Score: 5/5
