double whammy

Another double-posting day - lucky you.

I figured after the depression that set in while reading the State of the Union, I should follow up with some exciting news I found on nola.com.

Two Katrina-themed films won major awards at the Sundance Film Festival. One - "Trouble the Water" - uses civilian footage from the storm from the Ninth Ward, and the other - "Fields of Fuel" - is about the shift from biofuel to green energy and the impacts of that shift (or the impact of that shift not yet happening) on Louisiana.

They both sound very interesting, and I hope that I will be able to get my hands on them once they are released on DVD.

The second one has a Web site. I'll post more information about the first if I can find it in the near future.
