When the Levees Broke

Every American over the age of 12 should see this documentary by Spike Lee. I know, you think, how depressing, who wants to see a film with such misery and lots of floating dead bodies? But the film shows a vivid view of the culture and human spirit that was and is New Orleans. It also shows the stark reality which plagues George Bush's empire: "can't make a decision, paralyzed with fear and ain't gonna change any time soon." Whenever he's been asked to step up to the plate, George Bush has gone running to the land of denial and tunnel vision that must live in his head. Spike Lee does a commendable job of keeping himself out of the film and portraying the stories of the many individuals whose lives were devastated by Katrina. Bravo Spike.
