Netflix Katrina: Come Hell and High Water

​

This is the story of a brutal coastal hurricane turned cataclysm through human error and neglect. Over the course of a gripping and emotional three episodes, the people of New Orleans recount their past, lay bare their present and lean into the future of what they and their beloved city survived and have become 20 years later. The series sets the stage for a tragedy - whose man-made elements expose the systemic governmental neglect that led to the city being defenseless in the face of the storm - and Katrina’s devastating impact that irreparably changed New Orleans. Detailed, harrowing and triumphant first-person accounts and never-before-seen archive footage illustrate the magnitude of Katrina, the aftermath of the levees breaking and the bungled recovery.​

Who is behind this one? I think Coogler did the one that aired in Nat Geo

I didn't have nearly the loss as a lot of my friends from that time did but I'm fatigued over Katrina documentaries.

That city still hasn't recovered in so many ways. Unless these docs are going to end up in lawsuits aimed at restoration, I'm not interested in different povs about this

Edit: it is still wild that I was 22 when this happened when at 42 I still have very vivid memories like it happened yesterday

I think Coogler's company tried to bring a different POV to theirs they released weeks ago. At the very least, at least its black filmmakers and their production companies involved so it won't be some shit built around sensationalism

I was extremely fortunate. All I loss was shit that could be replaced.

The city still don't look the same or rather even the parts that do (bourbon St, etc) still don't have the same feel

Damn I’m sorry to hear yo

The Coogler series was great insight. Idk anyone from NOLA and being up in NYC I can’t even begin to imagine that kinda devastation and neglect your city went through. And the effects that still reverberates in the present day. America failed NOLA immensely
