Featuring Brian Nobles, Wink Rivers, Kimberly Rivers Roberts
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, this powerful documentary is at once horrifying and exhilarating. “Trouble the Water” takes you inside Hurricane Katrina by weaving an insider’s view with a mix of verité and in-your-face filmmaking. It is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes, survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.
