Kamp Katrina is a verite documentary
filmed in post-Katrina New
Orleans. The film follows Ms. Pearl, a
56 year old Upper 9th Ward resident
and Native American. The story
begins one month after Hurricane
Katrina when Ms. Pearl rides her
bicycle to a temporary community
space in Washington Square Park. An
organiser urges people to open their
homes to individuals displaced by the
hurricane. Ms. Pearl enthusiastically
offers her backyard and ten people
immediately move into Kamp Katrina,
their self-made tent community.
With limited resources and no
governmental support, Ms Pearl
and her husband attempt to create
a community for the residents of
Kamp Katrina while they work to
rebuild their businesses, their homes
and their lives.
