Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans on August 29, 2005, and most of the city evacuates ahead of the floodwaters. The photographers of The Times-Picayune, the city's daily newspaper, stay behind instead, and this film gathers them two years later to describe what they did and saw. They talk about wading through flooded neighborhoods with cameras, watching rooftop rescues and bodies left in the street, and filing images while unable to reach their own families. The paper's coverage of the storm goes on to win two Pulitzer Prizes, and the film treats that recognition as only part of the story, spending more time on what the work cost the people doing it: the guilt of photographing suffering instead of stopping to help, the strain of sleeping in the newsroom for days, the difficulty of going back to ordinary assignments afterward. Produced by Danny Bourque, the documentary relies entirely on the photographers' own accounts, told in their words rather than through narration, to reconstruct a week most of New Orleans experienced as a blur.
