Some things never change

Sadly, I have not seen this movie.

I saw some moments towards the end (the fire scene), but haven't had a chance to find it in it's entirety.

The reason I came to this movie today is the Katrina hurricane... wonder if the networks will show it again.

This would be a GREAT thing, as there has been a push since before 2000 to have Henriette DeLille (sp??) Canonized in the Catholic church.

I wonder if any one remembered her story during the trying times they experienced themselves.

Isn't it interesting, and shameful? Generations later, and still the very same behavior. It makes one wonder how much most people's hearts have changed. It even reminds me of how a group of "men" with firearms prevented Katrina survivors from crossing bridges to escape, under threat of death.

Its too bad this film was so flawed by its own marginalization of Black men and dark-skinned African-Americans. I could have recommended it to others as a sort of foreshadowing of inhumane behaviors [George Bush's included] during Hurricane Katrina.
