Award-Winning Film "Trouble the Water" to Open in Washington, DC Next Month

The 2050 Group has been hired to promote the DC opening of the film "Trouble the Water," the Sundance 2008 Grand Jury Prize Winner for Documentary. This is a good summary of the film:

The film tells the story of an aspiring rap artist and her streetwise husband, trapped in New Orleans by deadly floodwaters, who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning. It’s a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes that takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen.
