Wow.

What a gift this movie is to the people of Katrina, as well as those who only know this tragedy the way it was depicted on the news. I haven't been this moved by a movie in a very long time. The one negative is that it is only a movie and not a series. The director touches on so many crucial themes: community, trauma, childhood development, generational patterns, racism, classism, as well as our societies blindness to children's lived experience and emotions. I'm blown away by these stories and the resilience of the New Orleans community. Can't wait to see what this director does next.

Trivia
New Orleans filmmaker Edward Buckles Jr., who was 13 years old during Katrina and its initial aftermath, spent seven years documenting the stories of his peers who survived the storm as children, using his community's tradition of oral storytelling to open a door for healing and to capture the strength and spirit of his city.
