About Lower 9

Andy Young, award winning New Orleans poet, reads her piece Lower 9 in One Year Later, an experimental documentary video. Video clips of the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans drift across and juxtapose black rushing water. All of the footage was shot during the 1 year anniversary of Katrina.

    We were very lucky to work with Andy Young, a great New Orleans poet; during the capture of her reciting her work, everyone in the crew got beautiful tingles that we still talk about today. This portion is part of a longer documentary piece (One Year Later) that was part of an art exhibition called 2Dogs, One Not Found exhibited in New York and New Orleans in 2007.

    I do appreciate the intellectual work done by the writer and producer. The fact that it was filmed on the anniversary of Hurricane Cathrina shows a creative hand and good intelligence.
