If God Is Willing and da Creek Don't Rise

A Must See For EVERY American
Many of us continue to hold sacred, 9/11 and ground zero which is being rebuilt every day. After watching this documentary, I was left with the feeling that somehow these Americans of the Gulf have simply been forgotten and those displaced still have no way to return home. This is the TRUE story of our America in the Gulf, and how it is being dismantled with one disaster after another. This has to change.

Provocative Film Making at it Best
There is a reason Spike Lee is one of the most provocative American film directors. This is it. If you still believe the government is there to help Americans in time of crisis and disaster you need to see this film. Post Katrina New Orleans is a microcosm of capitalism and the free-market. They have no public school system, historic homes are eminent domained to make way for a "new" downtown, a perfectly good hospital is shuttered, all in the name of rebuilding. Meanwhile five years later hundreds of former Crescent City residents are still unable to return home, an offense to every American. This film is a must see. The best documentary of 2010.

Another masterpiece from Spike Lee!
You'll laugh, cry and get MAD AS HELL, as you watch the incredible 2-part, 4-hour absolutely fascinating documentary about the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina and the horrendous and unforgivable BP oil catastrophe!

From the many problems and con jobs connected to the corrupt Bush-Cheney administration and their cronies before and after Hurricane Katrina, to the inexcusable and unconscionable BP oil disaster, Lee speaks critically, but fairly to the good guys and the bad. Just as the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas were starting to recover from nature's Hurricane Katrina (and poorly-built levees, etc.), they have to contend with a man-made disaster of horrendous proportions, the BP oil tsunami. That most of them can keep going in the face of all this adversity is commendable in itself!

Good work, Spike Lee and HBO! "If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise" should be seen be everyone who is concerned about the welfare of humanity and this planet.
