When the Levees Broke review

Okay so I got home this morning around 7 and I had to watch the HBO special ” When the Levee Broke” in it’s entirety. so I stayed up and fought back my sleep to make sure I was able to watch it. The first 2 acts had me literally in tears from pretty much the beginning until the end. Now I’m not a real emotional guy, I mean I have emotions, but you know what I mean. I hope… anyway. To see that kind of devastation and hear the testimonials from the people that actually went through it was something else. I must give props to Spike Lee for doing this. No one else could have captured the raw, heartfelt emotion that was displayed. I felt like I had a first hand view of what happened as if I was there. Acts III & IV were about basically ” what are we gonna do now?” It showed how strong the culture and people of New Orleans are. You may have crushed their homes, cars and material things… But you can’t crush their spirit!!!
New Orleans is big business. Dick and his Haliburton buddies are getting rich(er) off of the devastation. This was something that we needed to see. If you haven’t seen it yet, get your TIVO, DVR, VCR or whatever type of recording device and record it when it re-airs on the 29th when they will replay acts I-IV together. This is must see TV.
Peace and Blessings
