In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, filmmakers Ed Pincus and Lucia Small, drawn together by outrage, took a 60-day road trip from New England to New Orleans. Along the way they met evacuees and witnessed the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles in their own country. The breakdown of trust between a government and its citizens and the influence of race, class, and gender – as well as the ethics of documentary filmmaking itself – form the backdrop to this universal story of the search for home. The Boston Globe: “The film is about rediscovering our common humanity – pushing through the flat screen of TV footage to connect with the Katrina victims as individuals.” Sponsored by Union Institute and University. Post-film event: filmmaker Ed Pincus will appear after both shows. No rating, 110 minutes. Film website
