NEW ORLEANS -- Five years after he documented the horrors of Hurricane Katrina, Spike Lee returned to New Orleans with his new movie showing the city's agonizing efforts to return to normal.
The premiere Tuesday included hours one and four of the HBO documentary, "If God Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise."
"The first hour was very, very emotional," said Sharon Starks, 53, who said she had a purse full of tissues after seeing the first Lee film on the hurricane. "But the second hour I was just angry. It was about the BP oil spill and I just felt they came along and violated us on top of everything else."

IMHO this guy is a bigger race baiting jerk than JJ or Sharpton ever was.
Hey, was the guy holding the bucket of beer he ripped off there?
Spike Lee is a miserable POS. A living breathing bag of puss that proves that the world isn’t always fair.
Let’s see if BP or the Obamaloon provides more jobs. Heh, Spike Lee vs engineers - that oughta be a blast.
“IMHO this guy is a bigger race baiting jerk than JJ or Sharpton ever was.”
He is also a nut.
Lootie?
Believe it or not, a member at ARFCOM (www.ar15.com) ran into “Lootie” down there and even got Lootie to pose in pictures with him.
Lootie was even the subject of a college liberal’s thesis on racism and popular imagery. Bullshit, but Lootie was heavily featured in the photoshop sections.
I used to hope that Scotty Pippen would round house him when he’d come on the court at Knicks-Bulls games and get in his face.
It’s been FIVE YEARS FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!
Mississippi was hit a whole lot harder than New Orleans.
They were back in business within six months...................
More ‘chip on the shoulder’ crap spewing from Lee, I’m sure.
He needs to start it out with a scene of New Orleans citizens screaming for the government to help because they are stuck on a broken escalator.
Not even close.
‘Inside Man’ was a hit I think. It was really good.
Any movie on Tennessee coming out?
Amen. and ever heard of a li’l storm named Ike?
When’s his movie going to come out about the devastation of the Gulf states due to the Obama Administrations dithering on cleanup? I won’t hold my breath on that one.
Met him 20 years ago in Atlantic City.....pimped out with one tall beauty. Seemed to be enjoying the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE then....
I enjoyed the movie but ...
All of the people with real character flaws were white and male. All of the genuine, good, wise, moral people were ‘black.’
All those vindicated were ‘black.’
Nothing wrong with his doing that, just pointing it out as part of the Spike Lee directing style.
Spike Lee is nothing more than a Black Ku Klux Klan Liberal....I swear, you gave him rope and an oak tree...he would start lynching whitey.
Tired of these Black Racists...and its time to call them what they are...and to go after those who pander to them.
