“Shot before and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina and featuring state of the art CGI special effects depicting the height of the storm’s fury, HURRICANE ON THE BAYOU brings into focus the startling loss of Louisiana’s rapidly disappearing coastal wetlands that are New Orleans’ first line of defense against storms.”

In December, I finally had a chance to see this IMAX movie at The Tech Museum in San Jose. I had heard about this film for many months, and had put this on my list of “must see” movies. If you’re from New Orleans or just love New Orleans, make plans to see this! Be prepared for a variety of emotions and feelings that may come up for you. You’re sure to enjoy the visuals and the fiddle playing, if nothing else.
