"When The Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts"

Once again Spike Lee has shown us the real truth about Hurricane Katrina a disaster that what we thought we knew all about. The four hour four part documentary had me in uncontrolable tears on and off throughout the showing of each part. To think about the way that people were torn from their homes, torn from their families then tossed into the world and expected to fend for themselves. To see the man not to much older than I speak of finding his mother crushed under the refridgerator in their kitchen after being told that thier home had already been searched and found empty. To see the eight year old girl run to her mother after being seperated from her for 3 monthes. To see the man describe how his bed ridden mother died right in front of his face as they waited for buses to take them out of the hell that they had to endure. The buses did not come for another four days after his mother died. She had no chance. To see the bodies floating in the water that had finally subsided. To see the people klinging to each other trying to stay together trying to stay in their faith with prayers that someone come and help them. For five days these people had to wait for food, water, assistance anything that would even give them the slightest idea of what the hell they had just been through much less any idea of wether or not their going to be able to move forward.
With more wreckage than 25 world trade center disasters, all because some group of people decided that 10 feet was good enough as opposed to 17, or that walls were ok as opposed to a true flood prevention mechanism. Then to top it off to hear them say that they will have the flood wall that took 40something years to build repaired in 8 monthes. Yeah, dont feel strange when your eyebrow raises and you stare off into space the way to try and figure out if what you heard made any damn sense. Where was everyone? Condeleza Rice was shoe shopping at Ferragamo, followed by a viewing of Spamalot( She was accosted by a white lady at Ferragamo, and booed when the lights came up at the show.....exactly what her ass deserved). Bush didnt interupt his vacation and when he did arrive he had his whole show set up and timed of course to present him in the best light.

Kanye said it best....

BUSH DOESNT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE

Covering all the theories and suggestions, even the one that suggest that the levees were bombed in order to wipe out the entire 9th ward in order to clear out the predominantly poor neighborhood.I encourage everyone to catch the reshowing. All four acts will be shown Tuesday, Aug. 29 (8:00 p.m.-midnight), the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Trust me, you wanna see it. You need to see it and if you have any concern for the world around you you will be sure to clear your schedule so that you can watch it uninterupted.


I wont go on just watch it.
