with Kimberly Roberts, Scott Roberts
14A- coarse language, 96 minutes

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary

Winner
of the 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize - this astonishingly powerful
documentary, directed and produced by Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for
Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal takes you inside Hurricane
Katrina in a way never before seen on screen.
Weaving an insider’s
view of Katrina with a mix of verité and in- your-face filmmaking,
TROUBLE THE WATER is a redemptive tale of self-described street
hustlers who become heroes—two unforgettable people who survive the
storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.

of the most eloquent records we have of a tragedy that brought out some

“One of those electrifying, emotional, unforgettable
experiences …. Captures a tale of thrilling human drama, terrible
tragedy and unbelievable heroism among some of America’s most
stigmatized and downtrodden people …No human being I can imagine could
watch TROUBLE THE WATER and not be overwhelmed by grief and joy, and
humbled by one’s sudden awareness of one’s own prejudices about the
lives, passions and dreams of poor people.” – Salon.com

Stars.….extraordinary….The film is about Katrina, and even more about

personified: smart, funny, undefeated, indignant, determined.” - Roger
Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Rivers Roberts. Your never heard of her. Not yet. Roberts didn't write

and Carl Deal. TROUBLE THE WATER is a documentary, an unforgettable
one... Superb in every department, a documentary that will pin you to
your seat.” – Rolling Stone

“Brilliant melding of first-person footage, heart, and directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal's documentary expertise. ” - Newsday
