Five Days at Memorial (2022)

Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath cut a New Orleans hospital off from the systems its staff and patients depend on. Five Days at Memorial makes floodwater, heat and failing power shape decisions that would look entirely different under ordinary conditions. Choose it for a distressing dramatisation of a real disaster, adapted from Sheri Fink's reporting. The institutional failures matter alongside the weather; the series does not reduce the crisis to a difficult forecast.
