Tonight, Apple releases the first three episodes of its new drama, Five Days at Memorial. The eight-part limited series focuses on the impact of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation on a specific hospital, the Memorial Medical Center. The show stars Vera Farmiga, Cherry Jones, Robert Pine and more. Five Days at Memorial is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.
Five Days at Memorial is based on a non-fiction book of the same name. The series is directed and produced by John Ridley and Carlton Cuse.
The ‘five days’ of terror and catastrophe referred to in the title are portrayed in the first five episodes of the series, with a harrowing day-by-day account combining dramatisation and visual effects with archive footage.
The remaining three episodes of the series shift focus to the investigation into the questionable decision-making at the hospital. In total, 45 people died at the hospital. But there is some evidence that human error meant more people died than was necessary and that unlawful euthanasia had taken place to some extent.
Vera Farmiga plays Dr. Anna Pou, the main focal point of the alleged crimes. Other notable cast members include Cherry Jones as Susan Mulderick,
