Description

It's the slave man talented. That's the problem. That's the heart of the problem.

有才华的是那些受压迫的人。这就是问题所在。这就是问题的核心。


We are inclined to do the things that we do because we don't feel like there's anything else we can do.

我们倾向于做那些我们正在做的事情,是因为我们觉得别无选择。


According to the documentary, Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans 15 years ago, exacerbated crime and violence in the city by destroying the local economy and displacing some 400,000 residents.

根据纪录片所述,15年前袭击新奥尔良的飓风卡特里娜摧毁了当地经济,并使约40万居民流离失所,从而加剧了该市的犯罪与暴力问题。


It changed the dynamics of the city. It changed the neighborhoods. Whole neighborhoods were washed out.

它改变了城市的格局;它改变了社区的面貌。整个社区都被冲毁了。


And as people came trickling in, you know, they had lost their homes, they'd lost everything.

当人们陆续来到这里,他们已经失去了家园,失去了一切。


Post-Katrina destruction, displacement and crime in New Orleans is also the theme of the feature film drama, RZA's Cut Throat City.

卡特里娜飓风过后新奥尔良的破坏、居民流离失所和犯罪问题,也是罗伯特·菲茨杰拉德·迪格斯(RZA)执导的剧情长片《夺命城》的主题。


The film starts on a positive note with Blink, one of the main characters, a graphic novel artist dreaming for a better life.

电影以积极的基调开始,主角之一布林克是一位渴望更好生活的漫画艺术家。


But then Katrina strikes the Lower Ninth Ward, a low-income district and upends the life of Blink and his community.
