Trouble the Water with Danny Glover and the Filmmakers

Trouble the Water, Winner of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize: Aspiring rap artist Kim and her streetwise husband Scott show what survival is all about when they are trapped in New Orleans by deadly floodwaters, and then seize a chance for a new beginning. Directed and produced by Fahrenheit 911 producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal and executive producers Danny Glover and Joslyn Barnes, Trouble the Water features an original musical score by Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, and the music of Dr. John, Mary Mary, Citizen Cope, John Lee Hooker, and the Free Agents Brass Band, and introducing the music of Black Kold Madina.

Join the filmmakers for a plenary discussion of the film, a dramatic look into the real stories of New Orleans residents who battled Hurricane Katrina's deadly floodwaters, journeyed across post-disaster stumbling blocks, and seized a chance for a new beginning.
