| Hurricane Katrina: The Drive: New Orleans Lower 9th Ward |
 |
A painful irony of post-Katrina New Orleans
is how few
people throughout the country understand the
extent of
what has happened to the city. Many people
do not
realize that, nearly 10 months later, things
are not
back to normal in New Orleans. As America's
attention
fades from Hurricane Katrina's impact, a
disabled New
Orleans continues to struggle for survival.
In many respects, New Orleans is alive and
kicking.
People are moving home, schools are opening,
cultural
activities have returned and, in some
neighborhoods,
life has a sense of near normalcy; however,
all it
takes is a short drive outside of the French
Quarter
or Uptown to witness extensive loss and
devastation.
The magnitude of flooding was
incomprehensible and New Orleans still has
many challenges to overcome.
The only way to really get a sense of the
magnitude of
the post-Katrina destruction is to physically
walk or
drive through the affected areas. With this
in mind,
NOVAC presents The Drive. The Drive provides
a raw
visual and narrated tour through four of the
most
devastated neighborhoods in New Orleans and
is
supported with extensive footage, maps,
interviews,
digital imagery, and an original musical
score by Emmy
nominated composer, Gil Talmi.
Through this community-based documentary
project, we
present stories from a local point-of-view.
We hope
this effort will garner continued support for
the
rebuilding of a great American city.
