My friends Tia and Carl have a new film coming out next month.

It’s called Trouble the Water.

It won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year.

It’s about Katrina.

You may think you’ve already seen what happened in New Orleans. You may want to reconsider.

Lower 9th Ward resident Kimberly Roberts Rivers was trapped by the storm. And she had a video camera.

Tia and Carl went to Louisiana shortly after landfall, met Kimberly and her husband Scott during the aftermath, and created a chronicle of their lives after the storm. Trouble the Water intercuts Kimberly’s harrowing original footage, the media coverage, the political response, and the continuing impact of the storm on thousands of lives.

I saw a screening yesterday as part of the Momentum conference here in SF.

This is view of Katrina never seen before.

See it.

My congrats to producers Tia and Carl, executive producer Danny Glover, and the whole filmmaking team.

Most of all, even more heartfelt congrats to Kimberly, Scott, and a whole lot of people who are stronger than I’ve ever had to be.
