Hurricane on the Bayou | Outside Online

Hurricane on the Bayou | Outside Online:
"After the Flood An Imax filmmaker flies into New Orleans, post-Katrina, and comes out with a film on culture, conservation, and rebuilding Louisiana's wetlands"
and later:

"The large format captures the scope of the devastation in a way TV news coverage can't. On a big screen, you see 25 boats lifted onto a freeway—or mile upon mile of flooded homes—and you're blown away. The power this storm had sinks in. It's earth-shattering.

What do you hope people take away from the film?
I hope they'll begin to care about the wetlands enough that they'll want to get involved in saving them. They'll go to a Web site or read a book to become more informed about the region. And they'll realize that this is a problem we can all help solve."
