Hurricane Katrina had a devastating effect on southeast Louisiana as it swept across the Gulf Coast. One month later, Hurricane Rita dealt a similar blow to southwest Louisiana, including flooding over 10,000 homes here in Terrebonne Parish. Like many of our friends and neighbors, the events of this past hurricane season will forever be emblazoned in our hearts and minds. Our hearts go out to the victims. Our thanks go out to the heroes. Our pleas go out to a nation to respond. The following video was made in the weeks after Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast. "My City of Ruins" Click to watch via computer It can also be viewed on a file sharing site at the following link: http://media.putfile.com/My-City-of-Ruins
"My Own Two Hands" Video made to thank all of the people who volunteered and continue to help the Gulf Coast recover. Click to watch via computer. Or you can view it at YouTube.com at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ44B33HRmo These videos meant a lot to me to make, and judging by the response I've received from across the country, they have meant a lot to many of you as well. Thanks to so many of you who have written and shared your stories with us. It has truly been humbling to know the distance these videos have traveled and the impact they have had. Bruce Springsteen's and Ben Harper's lyrics could not have been more perfect for the situation at hand. And the countless photographers who took the images provided great insight into our region's tragedy. A contribution to any of the relief efforts listed below would be greatly appreciated!
