Spike Lee's Katrina film, "When the Levees Broke" airs on HBO - Yahoo! News

The four-hour film is divided into four acts and examines the government's response to Katrina. The first two parts begins Monday, Aug. 21st on HBO, and the balance will be aired Tuesday.

One of the most poignant interviews in the Hurricane Katrina documentary "When the Levees Broke", is given by a man who lost his mother in the aftermath of the storm, filmmaker Spike Lee said. In the interview evacuee Herbert Freeman recalls his mother's death at the New Orleans Convention Center and the moment he had to leave her body there as he and other evacuees were taken out of the city.

Lee said on ABC's This Week: "Before he got on a bus — he had a piece of paper, wrote his name, his cell number and her name and placed the paper between her fingers, her body,"... "How could this happen, in — supposedly — the wealthiest, mightiest country in the world? Really, that's the question," Lee said.

WAW Comment: Well, Mr. Lee we are all - still - asking the very same questions! So, let's have another good look at the catastrophe via Spike Lee's film = which is certain to be thought provoking.
Again and as always comments are welcome.
