A look at the tropical cyclone that hit the American city in August 2005, the largest hurricane to ever make landfall in the US, with more than a thousand lives lost during it. The documentary immerses viewers in extraordinary archive footage, going minute by minute and hour by hour through the devastation that was escalated by failed flood barriers and a poor government response. It was the costliest storm in US history, and its effects are still felt today.
