Journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana -- before, during and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Witness the tragedy the city faced during Katrina through the eyes of four New Orleans musicians: legendary singer, songwriter, pianist, producer Allen Toussaint; Cajun blues guitarist and wetlands activist Tab Benoit; fiddling prodigy Amanda Shaw; and zydeco accordion master Chubby Carrier.
Explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans: speed through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on airboats; recount the heart-wrenching, personal stories of Katrina; and most of all, witness the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleans' first line of defense against deadly storms.
Hurricane on the Bayou is produced by MacGillivray Freeman Films, executive produced by Audubon Nature Institute with major funding from the State of Louisiana, and presented by The Weather Channel. Narrated By Meryl Streep.
