Synopsis
Sixteen years after Hurricane Katrina, an entire generation is still struggling with the after-effects of a childhood marked by tragedy. New Orleans native Edward Buckles Jr., aged 13 at the time of the disaster, spent seven years gathering testimonies from his peers, using the oral tradition of his community to open a path to healing and capture the strength and spirit of his city. The documentary highlights the tight-knit families and vibrant communities of New Orleans whose lives were turned upside down by the 2005 disaster. These American children, evacuated from their homes to refugee camp-like centers or placed in makeshift temporary housing, were neglected. While families had to reintegrate into new communities, having experienced loss, displacement and lack of support from government officials, the children were left to process their trauma on their own in a wounded and fractured city.

For its 14th edition, l'Heure d'Eté film festival is taking you across the Atlantic to New Orleans! An emblematic city and the cultural cradle of the United States, ‘The Crescent City’ - a nickname referring to the graceful curve of the Mississippi that runs through it - has never stopped reinventing itself over the years.
