Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time is a five-part docuseries by Traci A. Curry that revisits the tragedy of New Orleans twenty years after the disaster. The series eschews sensationalized disaster footage, offering a forensic reconstruction of what went wrong: from the delayed evacuation order and the breaching of the levees to the chaotic and often militaristic response of the government and emergency services. Raw archival footage, compelling interviews with survivors, and animated maps reveal how a natural disaster morphed into a humanitarian crisis, fueled by disinformation and racist imagery.

Thanks to its careful structure and clear thematic line, the series is both a compelling historical account and a powerful warning not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
