Description
Documentary filmmaker, professor and journalist June Cross visits The Context of White Supremacy. She uses her skill to "tell stories about the people other people think don't matter." She's a tenured professor at the Columbia Journalism School and produced a large body of fine work with PBS' NewsHour. We'll investigate her 2009 documentary, The Old Man And The Storm. She narrates the extraordinary story of the the Gettridge family. Cross and many other media outlets met Herbert Gettridge when he was 82-years-old and amongst the debris of the epic catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina and the levee failure. Mr. Gettridge worked tirelessly - and mostly without assistance - to rebuild his house in the Lower Ninth Ward. Cross records Mr. Gettridge's monumental strength and gets his commentary on the state of the recovery in New Orleans. It's easily once of the top films made on Katrina. We're eager to hear her views on ten years of reconstruction in the Crescent City. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS - http://tiny.cc/ledjb CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p
