If God Is Willing and da Creek Don't Rise is a 2010 documentary film directed by Spike Lee, as a follow-up to his 2006 HBO documentary film, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. The film looks into the proceeding years since Hurricane Katrina struck the New Orleans and Gulf Coast region, and also focuses on the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and its effect on the men and women who work along the shores of the gulf. Many of the participants in Levees were also featured in this documentary.
It won a Peabody Award in 2010 "for ambitiously chronicling one of the hugest disasters in American history, interrogating the well-known narratives and investigating other stories that could have easily fallen through the cracks."[1]
Wanted to humble myself so I brought myself to watch Katrina documentaries. It did it’s job. I was there last month and saw things I’d never seen before. The trees were still slumped and leaning over and nothing was really green. It still looked like nothing was being done to repair what happened. I was completely astounded. I am forever thankful for all that I have and I am so sorry that ppl had to endure this. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😪
The lower 9th was still a ghost town when I moved here 6 years ago. There were only bare foundations and wrecked houses. One house I saw had 4 dead found inside. The neighborhood was almost as bad as Katrina left it. Now, it's been cleaned up to erase most of the physical damage Katrina left in its wake. The lasting damage is what it did to the survivors who are still hyper-vigilant and traumatized from May to November.
I had taken a walk to sav alot grocery store on st bernard ave,I was walking up law street in the 7th ward on august 18 2005.it was a heat like i had never felt before.something felt off that whole year.i remember.then came Katrina on August 29th and the aftermath.and i realized thats what i was feeling the whole year.it was like a psychic vibe many people that i talked with had.I had some neighbors trapped on the bridge.and they were telling me about the intense heat up there 3 and 4 am in the morning.many perished many survived.my neighbor was just showing me a picture she had restored of her great grandmother about 5 days before Katrina.whenever i watch these videos it makes me sad all over again.today its the "new"new orleans.
I believe you
Watching the oil spill day after day, with NO ONE trying to contain it...3 MONTHS, and BP acting like it wasn't that bad...87 DAYS of oil billowing out of that rig...the more I watched the more irritated I became..."I want my life back" I'll never forget those words, I'll never get BP oil again, I can't get the image out of my head and I don't want to. It's madness....
azbass I was deployed when that happened. I remember me and several fellow Marines from the Gulf Coast that I served with were crying when we saw photos of what happened. That was our home, and a bunch of greedy executives who'd never done an honest days work in their entire lives destroyed it.

NEW ORLEANS,LA
CITY,FOR REEL!!!!!
"WHO'S MINDING THE CHICKEN COOP ?...... THE FOX"
I'm not as afraid of the storms as I am of the aftermath. Being marooned in the city and left to die or being murdered by NOPD pigs. I and my wife always evacuate knowing what we know. It's bad enough to be killed in a storm. It's much worse being killed by murder pigs after the fact. The long, black waterline is up to the striker plates in my house from Katrina. As we near another hurricane season, we will all sit in vigil for 6 months, watching the radar, keeping the gas tank full, and praying the storms leave us alone.
At 33:17 that's the father of the guy who killed former New Orleans Saints player Will Smith.
i just read up on that and it is fucked up how that just so happened to be his dad. life's a damn trip, man.
a hurricane is dangerous
No BP gas for my cars
That was sad
I hate bp
now his ass is in jail.

New Orleans is just WEIRD;I would never want to live there.There's more to life than BOOZE AND FOOD.
Kimerie Tate Eh, I think it's easier to understand if you've been to the area. Louisiana is a dynamic environment to the point that it's practically alive. The Mississippi River is constantly laying down new silt to form land masses while the other rivers and lakes also shift locations. It also suffered repeated Yellow Fever and Malaria epidemics that decimated the populations. So I think the culture echos that impermanence: you can't take it with you and everything changes so why not have a party?
And for the record I've been to NOLA pre and post Katrina. I never cared for it much, but I recognize its significance.
And Voodoo too....
@Donnell Okafor I understand and in no offense but I frequent New Orleans faithfully as a child when the Mardi Gra Parade was on Canal Street back in the early 70's we came from Mobile Alabama I do remember voodoo dolls all over the place besides stories told and my on eye witness accounts. I had the opportunity to reside there in New Orleans for 3 months a few years before Katrina stayed in the French Quarters not far from Bourbon and Royal and loved it!!!! Still want to go back someday. May God Bless You and Take Care....
@Donnell Okafor I'm sure a lot has changed in New Orleans period but I did read about some successful students from 2 or 3 high schools there got 100% acceptance to certain colleges this graduating year and that's something to be proud of.....but concerning anything else all one can do is pray, I believe and I pray without cease
Then you missed the whole point. New Orleans isn't just booze and food, it is a unique culture and wonderful people.
Definitely NOT a Hurricane Katrina documentary. 👎
