The Unfolding Tragedy of Five Days at Memorial
A Chilling True Story
Based on actual events
In the harrowing aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the levees surrounding New Orleans gave way, plunging the city into a watery abyss of destruction and despair. At Memorial Medical Center, a dedicated group of healthcare professionals found themselves trapped in the rising waters, facing an impossible choice: to stay and care for their patients, or to abandon them to a watery fate.
As the days turned into a living nightmare, the hospital descended into a scene of chaos and desperation. Supplies dwindled, the power failed, and the stench of death hung heavy in the air. Yet, amidst the adversity, the human spirit shone through, as doctors and nurses risked their own lives to save the lives of others.
Now, the chilling true story of those five days at Memorial is brought to life in a gripping Apple TV+ series. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Sheri Fink, the show offers a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking exploration of the limits of human endurance and the moral dilemmas faced in the face of overwhelming tragedy.
