The truth is that the movie is told through the majority of those whom were affected by the breech in the levee system. The majority of those which were the poor,the underprivileged, the overworked/under-payed, the "thugs", THE BLACKS!!! No I don't think there was a bomb staged somewhere to blow up the levees. But I do know that no matter how much you try to sweep it under the rug, race and economic status had everything to do with it. People we incompetent and put if on the back burner. This would not have happened if the people most affected were of higher economic status. What about how long it took for these guys to get food, water, a roof over their heads. There is no justice in that. There is no logical explanation any of us can be given for that happening in such a "Great" and powerful country.
