When the Levees Broke, Spike Lee's powerful 4-hour HBO documentary on the human disaster surrounding Hurricane Katrina, has shown up online. Ajit at ticklebooth blog writes,
This film is Lee's best non-fiction work and the best Katrina related film I have seen. The film goes to the very roots of the Katrina disaster (the man-made one) following the trails of race, Louisiana oil and politics.
The entire film comes in 26 parts [see ticklebooth for a long list of links, some of which appear to be changing]. Also check out this montage submitted by a user: When the Levees Broke. Another doc by Spike on the Gore and Bush 2000 Election aptly titled We Wuz Robbed
Link. This documentary was incredible, masterly, historically important work, and I know many who don't subscribe to HBO want to see it. The very moment HBO makes it available on DVD or purchaseable digital video download, I will eagerly be there with credit card in hand. I wish they'd done so already.

I found a couple of .torrents on mininova. I'm just downloading them now, so I'm not positive they're legit, but I have no reason to suspect otherwise. one, two.
