Hurricane Season...

Intriguing is the word I would use to describe the movie Hurricane Season. It was really depressing to see what the people lived through after Hurricane Katrina. In the movie how they showed how the houses were destroyed and how they lost memories was upsetting. Also learning a little about what each player, and what their lives were like during and after the hurricane hit was sad. The nice thing about this movie is that the whole basketball team treated each other as family.
