.trouble the water.

Three years ago, Hurricane Katrina exposed the reality of poverty and racism in this country, and the repeated failures of the Bush Administration.

A new film, Trouble the Water, is in the theaters now. Directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, it won the 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize and has been heralded by critics:

"...one of the best American documentaries in recent memory." -- Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"Four Stars...extraordinary." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"[A]n endlessly moving, artlessly magnificent tribute to people the government didn't think worth saving."--Richard Corliss, Time

I hope you take a minute and watch the preview here:
