Trouble the Water is a 2008 documentary film directed by Tia Lessin, and Carl Deal, producers of Fahrenheit 9/11. The film tells the story of an aspiring rap artist Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her streetwise husband, who were trapped in New Orleans by deadly floodwaters as a result of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.

In Trouble the Water, this voiceless population becomes vibrantly human as documentarians Tia Lessin and Carl Deal engage with native New Orleans filmmaker and musician Kimberly Rivers Roberts and her husband, Scott, to create a powerful, partly autobiographical survival story that reflects many of the lives of the people of New Orleans. Kimberly’s chilling home footage of her hometown before, during, and after the storm provides a petrifying account that essentially rewrites most of the media coverage of the disaster. Broadcast news stories of rampant looting are transformed into ingeniously heroic tales of survival, while recent stories of a thriving recovery in New Orleans are exposed as a false bill of goods sold on the backs of the disenfranchised. Trouble the Water makes unapologetically clear that Hurricane Katrina rages on as an unnatural disaster of governmental and journalistic neglect.
