Details

As a child advocate I wanted the children of New Orleans and surrounding areas to record for history the effects on them due to Hurricane Katrina. The children ages 5-13 at the time of filming have all been effected profoundly from their experiences, yet they show tremendous resiliency, creativity and spirit.
