Sandra Bullock: We Don’t Need to Leave Anyone Behind

Sandra Bullock has passionate words for Matt Lauer on the "Today" show. 

"There are a lot of things that fell through the cracks during the storm, and it was embarrassing," she said during the interview, which focused on her adoption and efforts in New Orleans. "[Katrina] opened up something that I don't think people know about, or maybe didn’t want to see," she added.

The actress recently presided over the opening of a new student health clinic at Warren Easton school, which marked the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
