Filmmaker Spike Lee’s new documentary about the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans will have its Canadian opening at the Toronto International Film Festival.

“When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts” traces the fighting spirit of individual victims of the disaster as they battle against the elements and their own government. The film weighs in at four hours long.

The movie was named to the Masters program of the festival yesterday.

The TIFF kicks off September 7 and lasts through September 16.
