Jennifer John Block, Director
2009 49 min. Color and Black and White
This is a moving documentary on Hurricane Audry, which killed at least 500 people in Cameron Parish, Louisiana in 1957. In addition to beautifully rendered recreations, the story is told in first-person accounts of 8 survivors of the storm, some of whom were kids at the time the hurricane hit Cameron Parish, who recall in vivid and emotionally-charged detail the events of that time. As Mike Scott of NOLA.com put it, "in the hands of Block and director of photography Jake Springfield, this is powerful, gripping stuff, a story worthy of Hollywood -- and can't-miss cinema for local residents."
