Film Screening/ Staged Reading
1pm- "Annunciation Lives" Film Screening
This short film tells the story of the Annunciation Mission, located in Broadmoor, New Orleans, which was initially a sanctuary for those who lost their homes and has grown into a lodging that houses volunteers, supplies relief provisions, helps rebuilds homes and, in many cases, restores faith for those impacted by the Hurricane.
2pm "Trouble the Water" Film Screening
The poignant documentary follows two survivors of the storm portraying their struggle before, during and after the Hurricane hit. One aspect of the film treats these two grappling with the distress of losing their homes and family members, the frustration attached to dealing with incompetent officials, and their encounters with armed personel. However, this movie is not merely a Hurricane Katrina story but an American story. Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, the two directors of the film, explore this other aspect of the film by showing the two coping with their past and trying to move on to a bigger and brighter future.
4pm "Bloody Waters" Staged Reading
Join us for a special reading of "Bloody Waters", a satirical portrayl of the events that transpired during and post-Katrina. The powerful soon -to - be off broadway play will have you falling off your chair one moment and asking for a tissue the next. The Writer, Director and Cast will be available for a discussion too! Don't miss this sneak peak!
