Some call it Hurricane Katrina. Some call it the Federal Flood. Others call it the day the levees broke. On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was submerged. That story of hubris, incompetence, and nature's wrath is now etched into the national consciousness. But the people who lived through the flood and its aftermath have a different story to tell. A story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II.

Great series
Word. Such a smart, vivid and atmospheric portrait of an event that taught us so much yet changed us so little.
Le-Ann I wish you the best - write a book!! I’ll read it:) Glad you made it back to NO at least.
