Inside Hurricane Katrina
INSIDE HURRICANE KATRINA is a minute-by-minute chronology of the events leading up to, including, and following Hurricane Katrina. For years, it was widely predicted that a monstrous Category 4 or 5 storm could devastate the Gulf Coast, including the vulnerable city of New Orleans. And yet, when the storm came, the world watched as chaos broke out, people were trapped in their homes, hundreds died, and government failed at all levels. Shot in HD, this special includes interviews with elected officials, disaster experts, and journalists on the scene, as well as ordinary citizens asking the question: What happened?
