Movie Haiku:Three years ago Kimberly Rivers Roberts was a young Black chick long on aspirations but short on opportunities. Then she came into miraculous possession of a video camera mere days before Katrina hit her New Orleans neighborhood, & it gave her unexpected courage to not only survive but prevail. Doc captures astounding "facts on the ground." Bravo!
