It is also a reliving of how in a time of great need Nashville responded.' -Bob Mueller, News 2 WKRN-TV anchor Under Water is a reliving of the pounding rain and rising water.

'Owen Grimenstein captures the will to survive, neighbors helping neighbors, strangers helping strangers. Owen captures the fear and stress that occurs in a natural disaster but also captures the fortitude and courage that was the response of so many individuals and families.” -Former Nashville mayor Karl Dean “The story of one couple's strength and spirit is told beautifully by Owen Grimenstein. People like Owen make Nashville the envy of America.' -U.S. will be a key part of Nashville's history and a guide to our future. “Reliving the Nashville flood is painful but inspiring no one tells the story better than Owen.
