The Big Uneasy is the real story about the flooding of New Orleans during Katrina. It was the product of design / construction flaws in a levee system Congress ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to build to protect New Orleans from hurricane surge.

The more people who seeThe Big Uneasy, the better because New Orleans is not alone. More than 100 American cities are protected by levee systems designed and built by the Army Corps.
