Surviving Katrina: fundraiser/screening

Many of you may know that my brothers and I took a direct hit from Katrina in our dad’s house in Bay St. Louis, MS, where the storm surge was over 30 feet. For us, it was a life-changing experience, which we managed to capture on video.

We were very lucky to have survived, and privileged to have had homes in New York to go back to. For the real victims the catastrophe won’t be over for months and years. So the screening of this video is being used to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, which provides housing for those left homeless along the Gulf Coast.

A Corner of Her Eye
MiniDV, 18 minutes

Three brothers from New York match their wits and bodies against the escalating fury of Katrina. A first-hand experience of her approach, landfall and aftermath in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
