After playing to sold out crowds in New York, Chicago, New Orleans, DC and
Atlanta, the award-winning film Trouble the Water
www.troublethewaterfilm.com>  will be at Allen Hall!

 

Directed and produced by Carl Deal (a Champaign-Urbana native) and Tia Lessin,
and executive produced by Danny Glover, Trouble the Water
www.troublethewaterfilm.com> won the 2008 Sundance Grand Jury Prize. The
film tells an extraordinary story of one family's survival of the flooding
of New Orleans after Katrina, and their journey into a new life. Time
Magazine's Richard Corliss called it "[A]n endlessly moving, artlessly
magnificent tribute to people the government didn't think worth
saving," And Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called it "...one of
the best American documentaries in recent memory."

Here's what some critics have been saying:

"Trouble the Water" is a crucial film, one of the best of the
decade."
-- Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Four Stars...extraordinary."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"...celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit."
-- Miki Turner, Essence

"...an utterly magnificent film, one that is as hard to forget as it is to
ignore."
-- Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune
