Very interesting look at Katrinia's impact on the people of the lower 9th ward
Apparently someone in the lower ninth ward, who did not evacuate, had a movie camera going during the hurricane. Very interesting look at what it was like to stay with the water rising. It also showed how people helped each other. It also showed our government's less than stellar response, and the non-repsonse of both the city and state. In my opinion they should be the first responders to things like this, not the federal government, and they failed totally.
It also showed how people, who left afterwards, could see what a terrible life they had, and to appreciate how it could be better if they didn't go back. Depressingly, it also showed that in the end, they couldn't prevent themselves from going back.
This was not a slick documentary. Most of it was by the people these things actually happened to, so it was much more compelling to watch than a normal documentary would be. Even a lot of the totally bad camera work enhanced the feeling of being there.
