42 Minutes. This program carries audiences on a journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana - before, during and after Hurricane Katrina. Narrated by Meryl Streep and driven by a soundtrack featuring Fats Domino, Aaron Neville, Dr. John and many more, this program is both a haunting document of a storm's human effects and a compelling call to restore Louisiana's wetlands, rebuild New Orleans, and honor the place where America's most vibrant home-grown culture was born. Unfolding against the poignant backdrop of the most costly natural disaster in America's history, MacGillivray Freeman's cameras follow a group of 4 musicians as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans. A group of esteemed New Orleans musicians boat through the ecologically rich swamplands and bayous of Louisiana in HURRICANE ON THE BAYOU. Narrated by Meryl Streep, this picturesque IMAX documentary highlights the importance of Louisiana's shrinking wetlands, which provide vital protection against hurricanes. This point is made all too relevant by the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, an event that caught the filmmakers by surprise, and which the film uniquely captures in both its human and environmental costs. Rich with the vibrant sounds of New Orleans, this timely film features appearances by musicians Allen Toussaint, Tab Benoit, Amanda Shaw, and Chubby Carrier.
