Wade in the water children life as a kid in an American Crisis

"Through a passionate mixture of private videos, uncensored interviews, and school day adventure, the children of New Orleans violent Central City neighborhood have created a riveting portrait of urban youth at the heart of an ongoing American crisis. No one set out to make a film: two young artists arrived in New Orleans with a free arts program, intended to help students creatively express their thoughts in the chaos after Katrina. Their documentary film class at Singleton Charter School invited students to take video cameras home and tell their stories on their own terms. The results quickly transcended the classroom."--Container.

Through their own remarkably honest and unusual footage, we enter the kids shuttered housing projects, flooded homes and darkened streets. We discover a New Orleans that was a disaster long before Katrina, a place where role models are scarce and gun violence is normal. The children show you a New Orleans that adults are afraid to discuss, and that a film crew could never penetrate. The documentary offers a poetic and devastating look at life in New Orleans through the eyes of its children."--Container."@en
