Trouble the Water

8 Reviews

This Oscar-nominated doc offers a raw and powerful look at what happens to an aspiring rapper and her husband before, during and after Hurricane Katrina, utilizing riveting home video footage shot by the couple. Directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessin wisely keep their focus contained to the couple rather than branch out to tell other people’s stories. The result is a fiery commentary on race and class issues in America.
