We screened "Trouble the Water" for delegates and lawmakers at the Democratic National Convention this week, where Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu tearfully embraced Kimberly and Scott Roberts, the couple whose story is featured in "Trouble the Water," and declared that all Americans should see the film. Today, hundreds of thousands of other Gulf Coast residents are commemorating the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall, just as they are preparing to evacuate in advance of a new storm which threatens their communities. Because the levees remain structurally unsound and little has changed for those hardest hit, New Orleans may be as vulnerable as it was three years ago. Please join in commemorative events near you this weekend and join others in demanding a just recovery. Read More | Comments (0)
