The cast of Five Days at Memorial came together to showcase its first episode at the premiere for AppleTV+. We spoke with Adepero Oduye, Carlton Cuse, Cherry Jones, Cornelius Smith Jr. , Julie Ann Emery, Michael Gaston, Molly Hager, Robert Pine, Sheri Fink, and W. Earl Brown. While the cast was excited to talk about the show, most focused on the hardships that many faced during Hurricane Katrina. The focus was to make sure this project was not only accurate, but really brought the audience inside of the hospital to try to get an idea of what it was like during the disaster with seemingly no help. This project was a labor of love and one that they were all happy to bring to AppleTV+ viewers.
