If you like your drama to hit hard and leave scars, this eight-part series is for you. Based on real events and adapted from the book by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Sheri Fink, Five Days At Memorial trains a lens on an intensive care unit of a New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina. Floodwaters rise, power fails and staff are forced to make life-and-death decisions. Written by Oscar-winner John Ridley (12 Years A Slave) and Emmy winner Carlton Cuse (Lost), this intense drama was shot in New Orleans and Toronto, with its large ensemble cast headed up by Vera Farmiga, Cornelius Smith Jr. and Adepero Oduye.
