Sydney, Australia: 'Profane..profound...highlight of the film'

Bush the villain of Katrina film

Bob Dart, Sydney Morning Herald, August 21, 2006:

Brown was among thousands of survivors of Hurricane Katrina at the world premiere of the four-hour film at the New Orleans Arena on Wednesday night.

One was Phyllis Montana LeBlanc, whose profane and sometimes profound commentary is a highlight of the film. "This was unnecessary," she said of the tragedy. "I hope everyone watches [the movie] and learns from it."
