When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts / USA / 2006

An epic undertaking, almost as much for the viewer as the filmmakers, this somehow manages to hold the attention throughout it’s entire 260 minute run time. Focussing as much on the (ongoing) reparation effort as on Hurricane Katrina herself, Spike Lee is, as ever, unafraid to lay blame (or credit) where it’s due, and that’s mostly at the feet of the US government: Kanye West’s infamous comment is played three times in quick succession, just in case we weren’t paying attention. But this sort of enthusiastic hectoring is exactly what Lee does for a living, and never to better or more deserving effect than this.
