Parents Need To Know

Positive Messages
Invites viewers to think about Hurricane Katrina -- not only its general devastation but also the way it affected Black people in the impacted community. Suggests conspiracy theory about how flood waters inundated Black neighborhoods and not White ones. It may be worth discussing how a natural disaster could lead to increased discrimination; certainly, story ties into Black Lives Matter movement. On the downside, some characters get away with their crimes at the end.
