In March 2003, as Bush's stormtroopers were set fare to invade Iraq, Dixie Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines, while playing the Shepherds Bush Empire, casually quipped 'we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas'. Once picked up by the media this played rather badly in their Country and Western homeland, resulting in mass burnings of their CDs and their blacklisting from many radio stations.

Director Spike Lee, shocked not only by the scale of the disaster, but by the slow, inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort, was moved to document this modern American tragedy. This is largely talking heads stuff with survivors, inhabitants, politicos and media types telling their stories. The film is structured in four acts, each dealing with a different aspect of the events that p find out more...
