In August 1942, the murder of a young Mexican American ignited a firestorm in Los Angeles. The tensions that had been building up for years between Mexican and white Los Angelenos boiled over. The press claimed that Mexican youth -- known as "zoot-suiters" for the clothes they wore -- were terrorizing the city with a wave of crime. Police fanned out across the city arresting 600 Mexican Americans. Seventeen "zoot-suiters" headed to a trial in which prosecutors had little evidence to present. Nonetheless, guilty verdicts were handed down to all. The tensions the trial inflamed sparked riots between servicemen and the Mexican American community that led to "zoot-suiters" being beaten and stripped of their clothes. Despite vigorous denials from city officials, a citizens' committee concluded the riots had been fueled by racial prejudice and encouraged by sensational news reporting and a discriminatory police department.

The "bomb cyclone" that swept across the Great Plains in March 2019 became, in its cost and scope, the worst natural disaster in Nebraska's history. As the storm began, up to 45 inches of snow swept across Colorado and Wyoming into Nebraska and Iowa. Then, warm air turned the blizzard into a deluge. With the ground still frozen hard and unable to absorb the rain, water overflowed into creeks, rivers and ponds already iced over or at capacity, causing record water levels. The people of Nebraska stood in the center of the bullseye. As the unlucky combination of ice, snow and rain caused historic flooding, towns became islands. Cattle, surrounded by water, suffered without food. When the ice broke loose from frozen rivers, it took on a life of its own, moving downstream and swiftly destroying bridges, dams, livestock, homes and businesses. The documentary AND THE FLOODS CAME lays out a one-of-a-kind narrative of this fast-moving tragedy and subsequent efforts to rebuild lives and communities, using news footage and video, photos and recollections from rural Nebraskans who experienced the extreme weather.
