Filmmaker Spike Lee and HBO are returning to New Orleans five years after Hurricane Katrina in a followup to his 2006 documentary, "When the Levees Broke," Multichannel.com reports.
The new documentary will debut in August
According to Multichannel, Lee will produce and direct the untitled film which begins shooting in the Big Easy this week.
The original Emmy Award-winning "When The Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts," portrayed New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina's devastation as well as the beginning steps to its recovery.
"When Levees Broke was a landmark n documentary filmmaking," said Shelia Nevins, president of HBO documentary films in a statement. "It's an exciting notion to anticipate Spike going back for this reprise."
