Kimberly Rivers Roberts' Oscar-nominated handmade Hurricane Katrina documentary "Trouble the Water" will air on HBO at 7:30 p.m. April 23.

Jaimie Trueblood/HBOStephen Moyer and Anna Paquin star in HBO's 'True Blood.'

Building on 15 minutes of home video 9th Ward resident Roberts made of the storm and its levee-failure aftermath, filmmakers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal follow Roberts and her husband Scott on a two-year recovery ordeal.

In addition to its Oscar nomination, the film won the documentary grand prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Set in Louisiana and shot in part in the Shreveport area, HBO's "True Blood" launches its second season June 14.

Starring Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the series is based on the novels by Charlaine Harris and is produced by "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball.
