Hurricane on the Bayou

A powerfully moving large format film unlike any other, Hurricane on the Bayou takes audiences on a journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana before, during and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Cameras follow a group of four musicians, both legendary and rising, as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans; speed through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on airboats; recount their heart-wrenching, personal stories of Katrina; and bring the focus to the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleans’ first line of defense against deadly storms. Vanishing at an astonishing rate of one acre every 38 minutes, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the wealth, cultural vitality and future of New Orleans depend on the preservation of these wetlands.

Now showing through February 28, 2009
