When Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, few could predict the devastation that would follow.
New Orleans, a city known for its vibrant culture, was left in ruins after the levees failed, plunging it underwater.
The aftermath revealed not just the destruction of a storm but the failures of government response, resulting in hundreds of deaths and billions in damages.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Netflix’s “Katrina: Come Hell and High Water” revisits this tragedy.
Executive-produced by acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee—who also directed “When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts“—this three-part documentary amplifies the voices of survivors and examines how the city has changed since the disaster.
Showrunner Alisa Payne emphasizes the urgency of this story: “Working with Spike Lee, Sam Pollard, and Geeta Gandbhir is an honor. This new perspective will inform those unfamiliar with Katrina while providing revelations for those who think they know this story.”
As climate disasters intensify worldwide, “Katrina: Come Hell and High Water” serves as a stark reminder of the lasting impact of governmental oversight.
It’s a must-watch for those who remember Katrina’s devastation and for new generations learning about this dark chapter in American history.
“Katrina: Come Hell and High Water” premieres on Netflix on August 27.
