Los niños de Katrina

I can barely express what an amazing film this is! This is documentary film making at it's purest, but also it's highest level. I was lucky enough to see this through Tribeca online, and I can't wait to see it again when it gets a wide release.

See this as soon as you can!

I'm still processing what I just watched but it was so compelling, beautiful, and sad. I hope this filmmaker gets the recognition he deserves and that this documentary continues to build empathy for the people of New Orleans and how Katrina impacted their lives.

This is an incredible film. I saw it through Tribeca where the director Edward Buckles one Best Documentary Director, which he definitely deserved. I don't have much to say besides see this film as quick as you can.

If 1 child dies in high school we offer counseling. How did we miss this. Thank you for showing us what we should have seen. I am so glad to see so many made it dispite their inner turmoil. I am sorry for the kids who didn't make it because the burden was too great. All of the young people he interviewed conveyed how they felt and feel currently very well. I believe the way the people of New Orleans were treated was so shamefulI. I think if they had to live it while the rest of America looked on then we all can honor them by watching this documentary and acknowledge the pain and suffering that they went through. I look forward to seeing more from this young man.

How was this not nominated for an Oscar?? I was in the mood for a documentary about a somewhat contemporary topic and decided to give this a shot. I thought the premise was interesting - interview adults who were children during Katrina - but was skeptical about how much different perspective it could really offer to what Ive already absorbed since 2005. I am ashamed at how wrong I was. Exploring themes like childhood trauma, climate migration, violence, resilience this documentary had me in tears. It was done so well! The stylistic choices and the score were top notch. Shame on HBO for having this hidden away for no one to really see.
