Synopsis

Told in unflinching detail, Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time thrusts viewers into the chaos that consumed New Orleans during one of America’s deadliest catastrophes. Capturing fear, heroism and resilience, the series confronts false narratives and reveals how a natural disaster became a national tragedy. Grounded in wrenching testimony from survivors, first responders, and officials, and brought to life with immersive archival footage, it delivers a raw account of personal, political and societal fallout. From Oscar®- and Emmy®-winning producers Lightbox, filmmaker Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media, and director Traci A. Curry, the landmark documentary marks Hurricane Katrina’s 20th anniversary.
