  Event Details

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on one of America's most adored cities, New Orleans. Although the Category 4 storm battered the entire area, its devastation paled in comparison to the citywide flooding that occurred after the levees broke. News networks covered the daily horror, allowing communities across the world to see how miserably a government had failed to protect its citizens. Now, a documentary allows the voices of the people to be heard ---the way they recall the ordeal.

New Orleans: My Home, My Life, My Love offers a perspective from the New Orleanians who experienced this catastrophe and now find themselves dealing with dreadfully uncertain futures.Hear the victims of Katrina tell their stories ---the way they remember the days of horror. Witness others as they return to New Orleans to attempt rebuilding their shattered lives.

+ Witness a first hand account of ex-marine, John, who saved over 240 residents of an apartment --- by going into a survival mode.

+ Meet a woman who evacuates 40 disabled clients --- and creates a home for them in Houston.

+ See Mervyn, the taxi driver, who stayed in New Orleans through the hurricane and now sleeps in his mold infested home.

+ Return to the house of a New Orleans East resident as he rummages through the wreckage.

+ Meet the workers who have returned to New Orleans to gut out homes of fellow citizens.

+ Hear from a black owner of a video store that was trashed and looted.

These compelling stories give voice to Katrina's victims as they offer their memories and experiences through one of America's worst natural disasters.
