March 25, 2009

Trouble the Water, an award-winning documentary about Hurricane Katrina’s impact on an inner-city New Orleans neighborhood, will be shown Wednesday, March 25 at 7 p.m. in the LCVA lower level, in the General Education Film Series. The winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, the film evolved from an encounter between two documentarians and a couple from New Orleans’ Ninth Ward living in a Red Cross shelter who, while trapped by the floodwaters, had interviewed and videotaped neighbors with their new camcorder. It’s been called a “redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who became heroes.”
