I don’t recall how, but I came across this excellent short film by Court 13, not too long ago. It’s worth taking the 25 minutes to watch.
The mythology that will arise out of the Gulf Coast in our lifetime as a direct result of Katrina, and her aftermath, will be amazing to watch. It’s very difficult for me to empathize with those who have truly lost everything, not just materially, but losing loved ones. I believe the art and music that comes from and focuses on the lives impacted by this storm will key in reforming the system that failed us in those days. It will also play an important role in the process of rebuilding.
Take the time to watch it, you’ll thank me.
