This is not a movie I'd recommend. The footage in the beginnng was so jumpy as to make me feel phyically ill. The story, a powerful one of survival, did not add any new information that the news media had not already covered in greater depth. I felt that the horror of Katrina was underplayed..., the stories that emerged from the Dome, the people met by the National Guard at the bridge, the sheer number of those stranded were not dramatically included in the story told. So instead of making the kind of statement I'd expect from such a calamity of indifference, I came away disappointed.
