Prisoners of Katrina Airs Sunday...in Great Britain

by TalkLeft Blog

It's too bad American media doesn't care enough to make this kind of documentary. Cheers to the BBC who Sunday night will be airing Prisoners of Katrina at 2200 BST on BBC Two.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while thousands fled New Orleans, the city's prisoners were trapped. Fresh eye-witness accounts reveal what really happened to those left behind, and how crucial forensic evidence was simply washed away.

In September 2005, long after most people had fled a devastated city, inmates of Orleans Parish Prison - many of them shackled - were still waiting to be rescued from the blazing heat and the stinking floods.

1. Of course it's not being aired here...

Our shows consist of tricking idiot pedophles and seeing what unknown person can sing better than other unknowns, with an occasional side trip that involves making people eat disgusting things.

Don't actually make us THINK, or, God forbid, make us doubt our leaders.

God bless America!

2. can a dvd of the program be purchased after it is aired?

I hope so.

3. The US character is one of always being best, and right...

we don't want to face the mistakes and the dark side of the character of this country.

In other words, we are an adolescent country, and badly need to grow up!

People have to learn to face their mistakes in order to mature, and so must nations!
