In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, two filmmakers, drawn together by outrage, take a sixty-day roadtrip from New England to New Orleans. Along the way they meet evacuees and witness the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles in their own country. The breakdown of trust between a government and its citizens, the influence of race, class, and gender - as well as the ethics of documentary filmmaking itself - form the backdrop for this universal story of the search for home. After World Premiering to uniform acclaim at 2007's New York Film Festival, the film has gone on to garner stellar reviews and impassioned reactions, with Cinema Scope's Livia Bloom declaring it "one of the most challenging and unsettling American films of the year."

3 stars -- "This is a shattering documentary." - Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
"One of the most challenging and unsettling American films of the year." - Livia Bloom, Cinema Scope Magazine
"3 out of 4 stars "The film is about rediscovering our common humanity - pushing through the flat screen of TV footage to connect with the Katrina victims as individuals." Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
"Best of Festival" - Human Rights Watching International Film Festival, January 2008 - Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix
"One of my favorite films at the New York Film Festival" - Andre Gregory, Director of My Dinner with Andre
"The film is not about its directors. It's about the annihilation of arguable one of the last vital American communities -- one people with generations of survivors reaching back to slavery -- and the lack of a satisfactory U.S. response to that demise." Lisa Rosman, The Reeler
"Remarkable." Mark Rabinowitz, The Rabbi Report
"THE AXE IN THE ATTIC is inspiring filmmaking. Ed Pincus and Lucia Small exhibit deep humanity and personal courage in making this film, which deftly balances depictions of victims of Hurricane Katrina with a presentation of the filmmakers' struggles to tell these victims' stories." Ross McElwee, filmmaker, BRIGHT LEAVES, SHERMAN'S MARCH
