An American Tragedy As the world watched in horror Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29 2005. Like many who watched the unfolding drama on television news director Spike Lee was shocked not only by the scale of the disaster but by the slow inept and disorganized response of the emergency and recovery effort. Lee was moved to document this modern American tragedy a morality play witnessed by people all around the world. The result is When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts. The film is structured in four acts each dealing with a different aspect of the events that preceded and followed Katrina's catastrophic passage through New Orleans.

Posh hitman Charles lives in Cannes and wants to retire with a yacht and a woman in tow.He has no experience with either until he lets his cleaning lady - the delectably frisky Essex girl, Lisa - into his life, but he doesn't bank on her vile boyfriend, Denny, or con-artists Simon and Ray stealing a 2 million nest egg from the boot of his car.Charles hunts them down across the Cote d'Azur whilst pursued by his rival Clancy who is incensed by the fact that Charles may actually be retiring.
