Directed an d produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Le ssin and Carl Deal\, Trouble the Water takes you inside Hurricane Katrin a in a way never before seen on screen. The film opens the day before th e storm makes landfall—just blocks away from the French Quarter but far from the New Orleans that most tourists knew. Kimberly Rivers Roberts\, an aspiring rap artist\, is turning her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. “It’s going to be a day to r emember\,” Kim declares. As the hurricane begins to rage and the floodwa ters fill their world and the screen\, Kim and her husband Scott continu e to film their harrowing retreat to higher ground and the dramatic resc ues of friends and neighbors. The filmmakers document the couple’s retur n to New Orleans\, the devastation of their neighborhood and the appalli ng repeated failures of government. Weaving an insider’s view of Katrina with a mix of verité and in-your-face filmmaking\, Trouble the Water is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes—t wo unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance fo r a new beginning.
