Directors in Trouble

Visiting town for SIFF this summer, Trouble the Water directors Tia Lessin and Carl Deal told me about their experiences filming their Sundance-prize winning documentary. (See review here.) When we spoke, the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina still lay ahead, and the presidential candidates weren't yet determined. The two Brooklyn-based filmmakers, a married couple, previously worked with Michael Moore on Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine.
