Looks like crap.

Yes the system f'ked up. But I'd rather watch a story about a family that went through it, not how the governor's an idiot and the Miss. people didn't know what to do.

The movie focuses mostly on what is being done by the people in light of the lack of assistance from the Gov't.

It's not another 'how did the gov't screw up' story.

Looks interesting. The one problem I have is a small one. The trailer uses the Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World" Song. Is it just me or are people using this song just for the intensive purposes of making a sarcastic joke. It just irks me to see a great song being reduced to this weird irony. Went off on a bit of a tangent there, but it just gets to me sometimes. But the film looks interesting nonetheless.
