Join Amnesty International and TransAfrica Forum for a special screening of Trouble the Water: winner of the 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Trouble the Water takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen. The film features Kimberly and Scott Roberts, a young couple living on the margins who survive the flooding of their city by any means necessary, recording their experience in a chilling video diary which opens the film. Weaving fly on the wall and in-your-face filmmaking with home video footage and archival news, directors/producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal (producers of Fahrenheit 9/11) tell a redemptive tale of two unforgettable people who are surviving not only failed levees, bungling bureaucrats, and armed soldiers, but also a system that has failed them. Executive Produced by Danny Glover and Louverture Films.
