a| This is a redemptive tale of two self-described street hustlers who survive the flooding of Hurricane Katrina. The day before the storm makes landfall, twenty-four-year-old aspiring rap artist Kimberly Rivers Roberts turns her new video camera on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. "It's going to be a day to remember," Kim declares. With no means to leave the city and equipped with just a few supplies and her camera, she and her husband Scott tape their harrowing ordeal as the storm rages, the nearby levee breaches, and floodwaters fill their home and their community. Shortly after the levees fail, their battery dies. Seamlessly weaving 15 minutes of this home movie footage shot the day before and the morning of the storm with archival news segments and veritable footage shot over the next two years, directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal tell a story of remarkable people surviving not only failed levees, bungling bureaucrats and armed soldiers, but also their own past.
