Synopsis
Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster, but the unprecedented tragedy that unfolded in her aftermath was man-made – laying bare America’s deep, structural, racial divisions. What initially seemed an ‘equal opportunities’ catastrophe that cared not for color or creed was, in reality, anything but. In the two weeks that followed Katrina’s landfall, as millions of predominantly Black lives in the Gulf Coast were ruined and ended, Katrina confirmed what every person of color already knew: America doesn’t care about Black People.
