A couple of us went to go see an advanced screening of the documentary entitled “Trouble the Water” at MICA the other night. The screening was a part of the Maryland Film Festival’s Friends of the Festival screening series - if you’re not a member, you should be. Find out more HERE.

Trouble the Water is an amazing film.  It’s a documentary about Hurricane Katrina that chronicles the plight of a married couple that is forced to stay behind as the storm hits and tries to pick up the pieces afterwards. This film was recently given the Grand Jury Award for best documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.

It’s dramatic, moving, inspiring, funny, heartbreaking and eye-opening all at the same time. Here’s the trailer:

Please go see this film. It opens today at the Charles Theater and will be there for about a week.  If the reception is warm, they may even decide to keep it there for a while, so please go support it.  You’ll be doing your part to raise awareness of the suffering of the folks down there.

Go visit Troublethewaterfilm.com and hook up with them on Facebook and MySpace too.

Thanks,
