The Axe In The Attic (Widescreen)
Price 24.95 - 29.96 USD
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, two filmmakers, drawn together by outrage, take a sixty-day roadtrip from New England to New Orleans. Along the way they meet evacuees and witness the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles in their own country. The breakdown of trust between a government and its citizens, the influence of race, class, and gender - as well as the ethics of documentary filmmaking itself - form the backdrop for this universal story of the search for home. After World Premiering to uniform acclaim at 2007"s New York Film Festival, the film has gone on to garner stellar reviews and impassioned reactions, with Cinema Scope"s Livia Bloom declaring it "one of the most challenging and unsettling American films of the year."
