After Sunday's screening of "Trouble the Water," a powerful documentary about a New Orleans couple's plight during and after Hurricane Katrina, executive producer Danny Glover urged the audience to protest government neglect of America's urban poor.
"We cannot let New Orleans become a template for what can happen to all the inner cities in this country," said Glover in his familiar deep, husky voice. "New Orleans is not an aberration. It is a symbol of what is happening in South Central L.A. [and elsewhere]. There has to be a deepening political awareness of what is happening to these places."
