Shelter Of Last Resort

The storm has passed, but Katrina has devastated the entire area. The people turn to President Bush; unfortunately, the help is not exactly forthcoming.

This made my blood boil. I'll be honest: I'm a white Brit, so what right do I have to say this? But I will. Had this been, let's say, a different state, I imagine the help would have been deployed instantly, not days later after a series of ifs, buts, and maybes.

The rescue mission did eventually come, and credit to the team that got it going, but it's clear these people were treated like criminals, not victims. The images are shocking; how many documentaries do you watch with grainy footage, parts of this are super high resolution, remember, this was twenty years back, not ninety!

The sequence that really shocked me on the news back in 2005 was the image of a bull shark swimming by a restaurant. When you think of the wildlife, the danger these poor people were in!

I truly hope the good people that took part in the interviews were handsomely paid by Netflix because, let's face it, those people were abandoned.

9/10.
