PSL Film Screening & Discussion
“Welcome to New Orleans”
Why is the wealthiest country in the world incapable of evacuating a population in the face of a natural disaster? And continues to neglect the displaced people's needs even to this day?
Join us for a film screening and discussion of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina from a Marxist perspective and hear about the continuing struggle of the people of New Orleans for justice.
The film "Welcome to New Orleans" documents the crisis in the devastated city just days after Hurricane Katrina. The city of New Orleans is a ghost town. Those that remain are still subject to abject poverty and virulent racism. The filmmaker follows former Black Panther and co-founder of the Common Ground Collective, Malik Rahim and documents the racist vigilantes that terrorize the Black population who are trying to survive. The film starts in the days just after the hurricane, and takes us on a journey to poor Black neighborhoods where the mainstream media never goes. We meet despair, hate and hope—despite all. Directed by Rasmus Holm, 58min., 2006
Sponsored by the Party for Socialism & Liberation
