Katrina Babies Reviews
New Yorker
Doreen St. Felix
Obliquely, "Katrina Babies" is a study of the autonomy of the Black child, and of how the government abuses its youngest citizens.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Buckles' greatest asset is his subjects, many of whom have never spoken before about the trauma that the adults and authority figures in their lives have expected them to endure, bravely and stoically.
Black Girl Nerds
Wayne Broadway
'Katrina Babies' seems to say New Orleans wasn't rebuilt, but, rather, built over. The formerly Black neighborhoods have been broken up and gentrified. And, sometimes, the old residents are too afraid of the new New Orleans to ever come home.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
"Katrina Babies" is deeply personal and thoughtfully political.
Seven Days (VT)
Margot Harrison
Besides refreshing our memories of a catastrophe that remains all too relevant, Katrina Babies affirms the power of oral history, assisted here by film.
Decider
Radhika Menon
A powerful documentary that focuses on not only the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, but also on the resilience of the people of New Orleans.
Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
An emotionally charged reminder of an ongoing nightmare.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
A lot of this feels a bit like therapy in front of the camera, but the subject matter is so compelling that, if approached from an emotional rather than intellectual standpoint, it definitely holds one's interest.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
Katrina Babies is at its strongest when it focuses in on the specificities of what was lost when those levees broke.
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
Blending archival footage, singular animation and a wealth of interviews, (it) delivers a vital document that is at once intimate, honest, engaging and indelible.
