>>As they race their way through the year-long Championship series, they also

>>seize a chance for a new beginning.
>
>>The film opens the day before the storm makes landfall-twenty-four year old
>>aspiring rap artist Kimberly Rivers Roberts is turning her new video camera
>>on herself and her 9th Ward neighbors trapped in the city. "It's going to be
>>a day to remember," Kim declares. With no means to leave the city and
>>equipped with just a few supplies and her hi 8 camera, she and her husband
>>Scott tape their harrowing ordeal as the storm rages, the nearby levee
>>breaches, and floodwaters fill their home and their community.
>
>>Seamlessly weaving 15 minutes of this home movie footage shot the day before
>>and the day of the storm, with archival news segments and verite footage shot
>>over two years, directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal document a journey of
>>remarkable people surviving not only failed levees, bungling bureaucrats and
>>armed soldiers, but also their own past.

>>This film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Documentary, and won the
>>Grand Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008 (among other awards.)

>These award-winning notable films are a powerful entry into the personal,
