Spike Lee and HBO Return to New Orleans
(USA Today) — The filmmaker’s latest work, If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise, brings Lee back to the city and the subject he explored in his Emmy-winning 2006 filmWhen the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. For two nights and four hours on HBO starting August 23, Creek examines life in New Orleans five years after Katrina, as the city is whipsawed between the high of a Super Bowl victory and the ongoing, disastrous low of the British Petroleum oil spill.
