Winner of the Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury prize, Trouble the Water is a powerful reminder of why we fight for change. It is a transformative story about a remarkable young couple who survive Hurricane Katrina, then seize a chance for a new beginning.

In the words of Executive Producer Danny Glover, "Trouble the Water has the capacity to bring us together to re-imagine our goals, our visions and our missions in life."

It is also one of the best reviewed films of the year: Richard Corliss of Time magazine called it "an endlessly moving, artlessly magnificent tribute to people the government didn't think worth saving." And Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called it "one of the best American documentaries in recent memory."
