Remembering Katrina



Hurricane Katrina affected millions of people across the Gulf Coast in August of 2005. New Orleans lost half of its population after the devastating hurricane, dropping to 250,000 residents. As of last count, 1/5 of the population still hasn’t returned, close to 100,000 people. On the 10th Anniversary of Katrina, it is time for the stories of these displaced Americans to be told.ri Filmmaker Rennik Soholt has documented what’s happened to five people forced to change their lives overnight because of Katrina.

What are the lessons we have learned since the tragedy?

Would we be better prepared if  another 'Katrina'  happened today?
