i'm just 45 minutes away from new orleans, and i know, firsthand what happened, post-hurricane, from volunteering at one of the designated areas in my city and from speaking with a very close friend who is a member of NOPD. the whole situation was a fuckup, and the blame should definitely be spread evenly, not just at the national government.

i WILL say, that local gov. admitted the fuck up and tried to fix things while the big boys played guitar and treated new orleans' black population like they were on quarantine.

they screened the documentary as i was riding into the city last week, actually. i'm a huge fan of spike lee and i would love to see it, but i don't have any sort of cable, so unless it gets on dvd soon or bittorrent, i'm shit out of luck.
