Two producers from New York City's Downtown Community Television Center (DCTV) traveled to New Orleans to collaborate with two local teen reporters on videos that illustrate how people of all ages are coping after Katrina. The films touch on how art can be used for healing, how residents are helping themselves in the absence of government support, and how issues of race, culture, and poverty continue to play a central role in recovery, relief, and revitalization efforts. |
