If God Is Willing And The Creek Don't Rise


The title of the new Spike Lee documentary film, and follow up to 2005's "When The Levees Broke"

In this 2 part documentary that aired on HBO on the nights of August 23 and 24th Spike Lee addresses the climate of post Katrina New Orleans from about 2007 to the present. He also includes an extensive look into the current and longtime effect of the BP oil fiasco. The film is purely the truth, from the mouths of those with authority to speak it. There is positive progress being shown, but the film also shows the yeoman's labor that is still necessary. It the kind of truth that is enlightening, empowering, and Infuriating. I am not sure when it will re-air but I will surely be glued to the TV again. Especially since I missed the first 10 minutes of the second part "Curses" *Mojo Jojo Voice*
