DESCRIPTION:While visiting Louisiana in the spring of 2008, documentary filmmaker 
 Patricia Federico became captivated by the Katrina stories still being told 
 by the residents who survived the storm. Inspired by their struggles to 
 overcome a catastrophic disaster, the loss of life, and the separation of 
 their families, Ms Federico founded ‘peace out productions’ to create a 
 unique and moving film based on these courageous and often harrowing 
 experiences.  In ‘Survival Strength Starting Over’, residents take the 
 spotlight and give their personal accounts of what happened to them before, 
 during and after the hurricane – and of the struggles still facing them 
 as they try to rebuild what the levee breaches destroyed. \n\nWith the 
 voices of restaurant owners, nurses, volunteer workers, school children, 
 firemen and other citizens who withstood the hurricane, ‘Survival 
 Strength Starting Over’ tells the gritty stories of those who lived 
 through the destruction of hurricane Katrina and how they will forever feel 
 her effects.  Katrina survivors tell their own stories, in their words, 
 from their mouths, in their homes, within their communities.\n\n“It’s 
 easy to forget the big stories once they stop being news,” notes Ms 
 Federico. “’Survival Strength Starting Over’ reminds us that at the 
 heart of all newsworthy events are real people with real lives who must 
 pick up the pieces and move on.  The stories are painful, powerful, and 
 thought provoking, but they are filled with a humanity and humor that 
 illustrates the best in all of us.” \n\nThere are screenings across the 
 country and part of all proceeds from screenings, DVD, and merchandise 
 sales will be donated to the Community Center of St. Bernard 
 (www.ccstb.org) to help this 501c3 non- profit organization feed, clothe 
 and provide assistance to those who are still working to rebuild their 
 lives and their communities on the fourth anniversary of Katrina.\n\nThere 
 will be a screening in San Francisco on September 26 at the 111 Minna 
 Gallery. The event is from 5pm - 9pm, the film will be shown at 6pm. \nThe 
 ticket cost is $12 and will be available at the door, and there will also 
 be a raffle.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/08/26/18619762.php
