The documentary "Trouble the Water" has been nominated by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the 81st Annual Academy Awards for best documentary feature. The documentary was screened at the King Center's Freedom Hall for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with Kimberly and Scott Roberts and The Free Agents Brass Band of New Orleans. The film was also nominated for an NAACP Image Award for outstanding documentary. As it says on the web site, "TROUBLE THE WATER takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen. It's a redemptive tale of two self-described street hustlers who become heroes-two unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning." Look to see if it is playing in a theater near you or if you can watch it on DVD.
