Mad As Hell, And Grieving: Spike Lee's Katrina Doc
Get ready to be outraged and overcome with sadness, all over again.
One year after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf states--and one year and way too long before the Federal goverment limped into action to help--HBO will air a four-hour documentary about the devastated lives the storm left behind. WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE: A REQUIEM IN FOUR ACTS begins Aug. 21.
Read all about what Lee's been up to lately, and what he hopes this nonfiction film will accomplish. New York magazine's got a hefty profile of the documentary and feature director, and in the New York Times, The Reeler takes a look at his breakthrough movie SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT - which still looks fresh twenty years on.
