On Monday August 30, “The Big Uneasy” will debut at the Prytania Theatre in New Orleans at 7:30p.  The 90-minute film will be followed by a Q&A with Director Harry Shearer.

Harry Shearer (voice of The Simpsons) created the documentary to show the flawed preparation and response to Hurricane Katrina.  The film focuses on how the levee failure catastrophe could have been prevented and casts doubt on rebuilding efforts.

Shearer, also an advisor to Levees.org, casts a highly critical eye on the US Army Corps of Engineers and its role in the 2005 flooding.

Tickets are $8.50.  The venue is 5339 Prytania Street in Uptown.
