Trouble the Water
(Carl Deal and Tia Lessin/Documentary/USA/2008)
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, this astonishingly powerful documentary is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, Trouble the Water takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen -- with Kimberly Rivers Roberts, an aspiring rap artist, turning her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in a drowning city. It goes way beyond just one hurricane, and portrays a wealth of information on the American spirit.
