Harry Shearer interviewed Maria Garzino for his film coming out near the Katrinaversary: she’s the engineer who I talked to for the series Pumps Under Pressure. And whose work long before that helped Matt McBride understand the implications of what she saw.
And she still works for the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Best quote in reviews I’ve read so far, from the San Antonio Current:
ACE whistleblower Maria Garzino, in particular, delivers a quietly damning testimony that calls into question not only NOLA’s levees, but our country’s safety. We can read the existential unease in her eyes, and believe me, there’s nothing funny about it.
