Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans
A new documentary by Upheaval Productions
Post-Katrina reconstruction is still in progress throughout the Gulf Coast, with much of the City of New Orleans still in ruins. Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans is a documentary focused on those rebuilding the city through interviews with some of the estimated 100,000 Latino migrant laborers who have converged in the area over the past two and a half years. Despite terrible working conditions, massive fraud, a housing crisis, severe harassment by law enforcement, and very limited resources, New Orleans’ Latino community has mushroomed since the storm and is establishing an infrastructure proportional to its size.
Take a look at how this community is organizing to defend itself against numerous injustices and the attempts to bridge the gap between themselves as new residents and the pre-Katrina population, all within the context of the extremely unique and tragic context of post-Katrina New Orleans. Come to one of the first screenings of Dos Americas: The Reconstruction of New Orleans, on Sunday, July 20th at 7:30pm at the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz. This free event will include a Q&A with one of the filmmakers. Read More and View a Trailer
