A short compilation of video footage I took when visiting New Orleans earlier this month. While some parts of the city have made significant progress, the poorer and lower situated areas like the Lower 9th Ward remain devastated. And the worst part wasn't even seeing the destruction up close but rather witnessing the lack of activity, building, people and hope. All were conspicuously absent. Hence the final clip taken from the Convention Center just after Katrina of the stranded masses chanting for help. While 20 months have passed since those desperate cries nothing, it seems, has changed.
