Five Days at Memorial

Matt Roush says...

This emotionally harrowing docudrama, launching with the first three of eight episodes, relives the horrific conditions at the New Orleans hospital that flooded during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina 17 years ago this month. Vera Farmiga and Cherry Jones head the formidable cast, playing caregivers and administrators working against the odds to tend to their stranded patients when power fails in the searing heat as they wait over a series of fateful days for relief.
