In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, becoming one of the most destructive storms in United States history. This documentary recounts the terrifying experience of those who lived through the category 5 hurricane, from the violent winds and storm surges to the catastrophic failure of the levees that left 80% of New Orleans submerged. As floodwaters rose, thousands were left stranded on rooftops and in their homes, fighting for survival. But the natural disaster was just the beginning. This film reveals the full story of the government’s slow and inadequate response, the chaos inside the Superdome, and the political mismanagement that made the crisis even worse. We hear from the survivors who lost everything, the families separated by the largest displacement of people in decades, and the residents of New Orleans who continue to grapple with the storm’s long-term legacy.
