Spike Lee's oeuvre is not restricted to narrative films, however. His documentary 4 Little Girls was nominated for the Best Feature Documentary Academy Award in 1997; while When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts , documented the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans on 29th August 2005, in a style that is both moving and political in an activist sense. Miracle at St. Anna (2008), set out explicitly to highlight the contribution made by African-American soldiers during the Second World War, and by doing so redress the absence of African-Americans in the popular myths and images of that historic moment.
