This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s destructive path through Louisiana and Mississippi. But it’s the storm’s impact on the city of New Orleans and the events that followed in its wake that will be forever be burned in our memories. Just in case that picture is fading the searing documentary “Trouble The Water” is now available on DVD. (You can also get it via Netflix). This is the homemade flick initially filmed by rapper Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her husband Scott which was taken to completion and distribution by directors Carl Deal and Tia Lessen. What they’ve captured is riveting, devastating and ultimately the story of survival.
