Review of Trouble the Water (2008) by Kenny M — 18 Oct 2008
A spellbinding documetary about a family who survived Hurricane Katrina in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. Half of there story is mostly captured on their hand held camera (consider this a 'Cloverfield' version of Katrina).
The most terrifying moments are when the family has to go into the attic because the flood waters are rising. Offering a new perspective to the storm, 'Trouble' shows in raw detail the terror during the storm and the hardships afterwards.
Out of the many fascinating documentaries to be released this year, this (with I.O.U.S.A. a close second) might be the year's best one.
