Dark Water Rising: The Truth About Hurricane Katrina Animal Rescues
Hello all,
This ground-breaking new film is a must-see to find out what really happened in New Orleans in the wake of the hurricanes. The media pulled up stakes after covering the human drama, but neglected to tell the animal story. This harrowing tale shows the bravery of a small band of rescuers who set out to save as many animal lives as possible. A note from the filmmaker follows, with a link to the film's trailer.
Very best,
Kim Upham

Greetings from Mike Shiley!
I am pleased to announce a private DVD release and pre-theatrical sale of DARK WATER RISING: The Truth about Hurricane Katrina Animal Rescues. This is the only documentary film made about animal rescues of Hurricane Katrina.
About DARK WATER RISING:
Over 50,000 dogs and cats were left behind in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The pets (mostly dogs) that survived the flood were locked in houses and chained to fences without food and water for up to six weeks.
A small group of brave rescuers from around the world risked their lives to sledgehammer down doors, brave toxic floodwaters and dodge corrupt cops in a race against time to rescue up to 10,000 trapped and starving animals.
Some rescuers worked with the official rescue organization, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), while others joined a more aggressive rescue outfit, code named Winn Dixie.
This film also tells uplifting stories of hope and survival as pets are reunited with their owners while other lucky pets find loving new homes.
These hard earned lessons will help our nation understand the need for animal evacuation plans in natural disasters.
Join me for a behind-the-scenes look at the grim reality of the life and death struggles on the toxic streets of New Orleans.

You may already know me from my other documentary film called, INSIDE IRAQ: THE UNTOLD STORIES (www.InsideIraqTheMovie.com).
I am offering you a one-time opportunity to own the DVD before its theatrical release.
