Did anyone watch the first part of this Spike Lee Documentary about the disaster in New Orleans. I found it both very moving and informative, a recommended view.

    its very very good.Seem some of it in parts before. The actor who keeps poping up in it from the cop serial and the two white women who are standing out side a shelter. Some ofthis is old stuff but some knew .

    Bush looking out ofthe plane window -dear God WTF.

    The point is about the under class (mainly black)in the USA is the theme ,USA had food and shetlers after the sunarmi in Asia within 2 days but it 5 weeks to get to some parts of the USA.Spike Lee used two white people to tell the story of being turned back at the bridge so no one could actaully walk out of the horror---very clever director.

    it's clear to see that the amount of people left to it were just poor people who in the majority happened to be black.

    quite a disturbing watch , but very gripping
