  2. Documentaries that dare to defy

    Wandering the streets of her deluged New Orleans 9th Ward in one of this year's exceptional short-listed documentaries, "Trouble the Water," resident Kimberly Roberts rants before finding her uncle's body, dead and decomposing two weeks after the floodwaters: It's why "I'm so against this President Bush character, whoever he is. Look at this man, these people haven't been through my neighborhood yet looking for dead bodies. I bet my uncle is still in the house."

I had to make it, by any means necessary."
