A recent report confimed that New Orleans is only 41 percent populated. So,
sixty percent of us are still out of our natural habitat. 2,000 families are
in the Bay Area and 16,000 in California.

The rich theatrical quilt was gleaned over from 20 interviews with New
Orleaneans from 12-104 years old now living in the Bay Area. Come hear the
testimonies of displaced Bayou residents, some of whom are indigenous
scholars of Louisiana history and politics. You’ll get a rich flavor for
the rich music, everyday life, and culture of a New Orleans now lost, along
with the terrigying and hopeful moments from the greatest natural disaster
in u.s history.

Interviews conducted with CeCe Campbell-Rock, Jordan and Amandi Rock, Diane
and Carmen Evans, Errol Giappion, Valerie Bocage, Charles Hawkins, Arthur
Thompson, Patrick Spears, Mrs. Gloria, Thomas and Queenie Brown, Linda Rose
McRoy, Amber McZeal, Andrea Washington, Ms. Lavinia Strong Lundy and Marion
Brown.

Associate Produce: CeCe Campbell-Rock
Film Producer: Pam Pam Gaddies

This is a free event and all donations will go to Survivors for Survivors
Inc, a non-proft committed to meeting the basic needs of Katrina survivors
in the bay area.

C you all there!
