Because those typically have some kind of redemptive resolution. Nobody wants to watch a movie that paints one of the country's most corrupt mayors as a hero.

I think Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story) is making a mini-series about Katrina.

How much over the top, shoe horned, gay stuff will be involved?
I kid I kid. I actually enjoyed his OJ series.

Will Smith was trying to make a movie about a guy at the American Can who saved a bunch of people but it's been almost decade since it first got developed so it'll probably never happen.

In "American Can," Smith would play John Keller, a 6-foot-7 former Marine credited with keeping order among the nearly 250 people -- many of them elderly or handicapped -- trapped with him in the American Can apartment building in the post-Katrina flooding of New Orleans

Audioslave / Chris Cornell wrote an incredible song about it:

HBO made Treme which was pretty good for a while & went deep into everything including corruption

Would they give the last 5 minutes of the movie to show the actual brunt of the storm butt raping Mississippi and it’s people an nobody caring? 
Would seem right maybe as an after credits scene

They’d probably pass off footage of pass Christian and ocean springs as footage of Nola

Truth is Katrina would make a great movie, but not because of the actual storm. But Hollywood wouldn’t touch the story behind Katrina with a 1000 foot pole

The movie to see is The King of New Orleans...nola creator and director

Likely the same reason we don't see movies about other Major Hurricanes with high death tolls. It is just something weird about profiting off of that misery.

This is actually an interesting question.

The rest of the country doesn't care about Katrina

Because it would have to point the finger at the Corps of Engineers. They were the cause.
