This is an oral history montage produced with audio collected by Alive in Truth: The New Orleans Disaster Oral History and Memory Project.

Review of Katrina Oral History montageNice little clip to add to documentaries about New Orleans and Katrina aftermath. A couple ladies speak briefly of the horrors they went through. A man relates his rescue efforts, and the sometimes terrible experiences of seeing those he rescued die on the highways, later helping others take refuge in a school instead. Different versions of police obstruction and also surprising aid. I liked the guy's relating how the poilice weren't always the 'enemy.' I watched ongoing reports on all channels for days. This is a good brief example short, worth reviewing for use in a program. |
