If you want a documentary about the black experience in the Katrina disaster with plenty of “white-man bad and everything is their fault” sprinkled in, you’ll love it.
That is a common theme with almost all of them.
Fox Weather is doing a half hour series every night and talked to the “experts” about the storm. In the third part that aired last night, it had Bob Breck, Max Mayfield, Janice Dean, a spokesperson for US ACE, and others. Not a single racial overtone.
But what grinds my gears on all of them, they do not talk about the entire region. Like St. Bernard or Plaquemines Parish, or majorly discussing the impacts of the landmass aka the Mississippi gulf coast. Those places had a true storm surge where places were wiped off the map.
The biggest issue of the storm was the ineptness of government in times like these and the fact that humans can and will act like animals when society breaks down. Some will act like domesticated pets and depend on others while others will take matters into their own hands.

I’ve avoided most of these documentaries, mostly because of the revisionist history.
If this one is well done and leaves out that racial shite, I may watch.
It’s blowing my mind that Gen Z is just now learning about Katrina and their first impressions are that it was all racially motivated and white folks weren’t affected.

So a typical Netflix documentary

All in all, I’ll watch the last episode because it’s just like watching a train wreck at this point.
The first 2 were mildly interesting. The 3rd was absolute dog shite. Repeated lots of content from the first 2 with the total focus on racism.

I just finished watching it. I’m torn bc a lot of it is true with the responses from the government
However, white people suffered too
The majority of the docu was “poor black people”
The last episode pissed me off the most.
No one came to my neighborhood and interviewed me and the 7’ of water I had in my house for 13 days
frick that documentary

Just watched.
Some crazy footage and some people gave great recounts of their story.
Spike Lee does his best “black people die, Bush evil, FEMA evil” charade so that was hard to watch
