What happened was a hurricane.... A HURRICANE you goddamn piece of ----.
I guess Lee is going to DONATE all of the money from this film to NEW ORLEANS rebuilding?!!! /sarcasm
He is concerned about ONE THING, his bank account.
******
the film reminds viewers that although Katrina shattered the entire Gulf Coast, New Orleans and its mostly black residents got hit especially hard
Cameras follow trumpeter Terence Blanchard, the longtime composer for Lee’s films and a New Orleans native, as he and his mother visit the family home in the Gentilly Woods section of the city for the first time since the flood. “Oh Lord have mercy,” weeps Wilhelmina Blanchard, nearly hysterical. “You can rebuild this stuff,” Terence murmurs, clutching her shoulders. “That’s easier said than done,” she says. “I knew it was devastation but I didn’t think it was this bad.”
“We want this film to spur action,” he said. “Things still aren’t right. People are still suffering.”
Lee says he’s considering a follow-up documentary to “Levees,” perhaps focusing on how New Orleans’ black middle class has been gutted, and what that may mean to the city.
Some NOLA folks are terminally stuck on stupid. Too bad there is no press on the other side of the state that was just as devastated by a similar sized storm. Hell, things are moving and growing so fast here my head is spinning. The difference is people are self sufficient and extremely resourseful.
