Someday someone will make a movie about Katrina in New Orleans
and the protagonist will be a person or persons stranded there for 5 days to die. Apparently we have been shown sanitized pictures, and the real horrors have not been shown to us in pictures, though it's obvious through watching the reporters in N.O. that they are mortified.

This is a story that has to be told to the American people in graphic detail, and sadly it may fall upon Hollywood to do it.

2. I was thinking more along the lines of Scorsese, Spielberg or Stone
I don't really consider Moore's movies to be documentaries anyway.
