I survived Katrina just an hour from New Orleans on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Its absolutely astonishing at how much Mother Nature can humble the people of her lands. I hope and pray we never have to endure anything like that ever again.
I visited New Orleans in 2014, 9 years after the storm and the hurt was still felt but it is an amazing city. I remember when Katrina was passing through the Gulf of Mexico. I was in Clearwater, Florida at the time, the storm was mere winds at that point. Unbelievable what happened and how much speed it picked up. I have to say New Orleans is one of the most unique and interesting places I’ve ever visited, I never usually feel very at home in other places but I did there. Full of weird and wonderful people like myself.
Takes great courage and inspiration to live in New Orleans. I remember reading about hurricane Betsy and Camil never in a million did I know that I will encounter hurricane Katrina and IDA.For our future generation this the only home they know.And yes we are very optimistic
..great documentary i live in New Zealand and would love to visit New Orleans ..that restaurant owner was awesome ..keep your head up New Orleans we love you 💕
Food isn’t the same anywhere in the country 😒. Shout out to all the people that opened Louisianan restaurants around the country bringing the heat 🔥 🔥🔥🔥.
What a remarkably resilient and courageous community of people the citizens of New Orleans are❤🧡💛 This documentary not only highlights this fact but also illuminates the deeply unjust (especially to smaller local businesses), financially racketeered motives of Corporate America and the authorities who regulate and invest in them. I hope your city continues to rebuild itself and is gradually restored to it's former vibrancy, renowned culture and full functionality again🌈🌟🌇🌟🙏
This should be a blatant reminder to all of us; of exactly what the citizens of Louisiana are going through right now. Only this time the hurricane actually hit New Orleans and not Bay St. Louis/ Waveland, Mississippi.
Still don't understand why the mayor demolished those hard bricks and replaced it with some weak wooden houses SMH bring back Calliope, Magnolia and Melpomene Projects
36:24 Not him showing open disdain for customers that are still buying things from his store TO THE CUSTOMERS' FACE. I understand being frustrated with your customers, what I don't understand is being openly defensive with them even when they try to placate you about buying from a bigger chain store (which is their right) that has a better inventory selection for what they're actually trying to do. How can he speak for "most business people"? In what way is him and his opinion representative of "most business people" as he implied? He's in a unique situation and should not speak for the majority of businesses.
Man what a conundrum. I totally understand wanting the stores but they are right if you bring in walmart or these chain stores alot of these little stores will not succeed . Competition yeah but that is really hard screw the chains make New Orleans even more special by not taking those awful stores back. 🙄😒 UGH Makes it so Clear how awful what's going on is with the stores. Wow no rent buildings for free is ridiculous. That is so sad. Invest in the locals!!!! Don't help the chains with a tax incentive!!! Make rules if in Are gonna do it good health insurance good pay ...come on.subsidizing walmart n home depot is ridiculous
That “only” 1.800 ppl died then I’m very surprised, I thought it was much much higher, Im so thankful was not, I don’t think anyone beived such a hurricane could happen, since then others have too and tsunamis around the world, I guess disaster will always loom
I would not move to a hurricane area, and would not bring a business there. I love the people, but we all have our own thing's to deal with right now, the fall of the country will come. God bless everyone.
3:44 Okay, what a nice sign to see...Whether you live there or do not. No one moved you to a place where natural disasters are NOT uncommon, you should of known this can happen. You live the USA, United is only in the name, you are on your own.
Hello! I’m a 6th grade science teacher and I’m creating a video for my class about Hurricane Katrina. May I use clips from this video to highlight NOLA and Katrina?
39:00 There's no way that a small business and a larger business within the same radius, that offer similar products, are going to have an even battle. This guy is saying that all the smaller businesses wanted was an even chance, when that's an unrealistic expectation. I'm sure most small businesses want to evenly compete against larger businesses, that are in the same category, but guess how often that happens? 🙄
I grew up in the Lafitte, was there when the storm hit... Always said that nothing was wrong with the Lafitte they (the city) just used Katrina as an excuse to tear the projects down smh and thats effed up
So what started out as a documentary about the devastating effects of Katrina turned out to be a documentary about the devastating effects of globalism. So depressing!
This is stupid it will keep happening forget history. The new history will be how many times tilk you move everyone has said this will keep happening so in a way I dont feel bad . Why keep coming back when the next hurricane season might destroy your home again. Most dont work so the community is not putting nothing in but everyone has to put the tab on an area that will keep having the same problem year after year.
All those corporate chains that didnt come back know something you all don't know. That this will happen again they have money and can get things fr9m the government and state etc. That place is a fish bowl smh
so odd these urban neighboorhoods thinking they deserve something. Their ancestors have failed them. The one guy sounded like it was such a novel idea to him that the people and communitly are responsible for their revitalization

That's what I love about New Orleans, the resiliency of the people.

Nun.
Strong people , make strong Community- which means strong Country(State).
All my Mountain Respects from The Balkans!

Me either I agree
I miss those bricks and it was a sign of what our people went through it's very disheartening and I don't like it but can't do nothing about it
The economic hardship , recession , unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures .
I have secured financial freedom by investing in bonds , equities , EFT's and some digital currencies .
I wanted to invest more in crypto, but the fluctuations in crypto value discouraged me into dumping.
@@benedictawerner1656 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Nicholas howard.
Wow 😮I’m just shocked you mentioned and recommended Mr. Nicholas howard I thought people don’t know him, he is really awesome.
@@reginahilton1862 Yeah I know him, who doesn't know Mr Nicholas howard of (HSBC SECURITY (USA) INC).

I remember when this happen and the kids who was hit by this had to come to our school because they lost everything. So so sad
I'm so glad to hear about immediate efforts to rebuild after Katrina. Our media just gives us gloom, doom and hopelessness.
Amazing documentary
Strengthen your OWN community by buying from local family businesses.
Tear down the areas that are below sea level and raise the land height to at least a few meters above sea level.
TOO STUPID TO LIVE
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...get real
@@dotsyjmaher it would stop chronic flooding, reduce flood insurance costs etc.
It would be a one time earth moving and rebuilding a city project
Well done , thanks

Out of curiosity, were those neighborhoods fixed or at least repopulated from 2009 that the documentary filmed?
This was filmed in 2009. Its now 2021.

Resiliency is a sign of the repeated abuse and neglect of the citizens by government. We’re resilient because we know the government is useless.
So what started out as a documentary about the devastating effects of Katrina turned out to be a documentary about the devastating effects of globalism. So depressing!
When was this made
I made it yesterday
There's no more a House in New Orleans, they don't call it the dawning sun!...
