The Will to Rebuild

College students from New Orleans' universities were scattered to hundreds of other schools last fall after Hurricane Katrina closed their schools. They returned in the Spring not only to go to class, but also to help the city clean up and rebuild. This short film shows them and fellow students from around the country working to help rebuild other people's lives in an educational experience they never expected. Some have even given up summer vacations to work on the city's recovery. They reveal their feelings about how special a place New Orleans is, and what keeps them going.
This short documentary is part of a series of shorts produced by the non-profit media center, New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC).
Several New Orleans' filmmakers were challenged to create a short documentary on New Orleans as we try to gain support from the nation to help rebuild a great Amercian city.
The stories provide a snap shot of life in New Orleans following Katrina from a local point-of-view.
The budget for each short documentary is $500.
