It is about different individuals telling their stories of going through hurricane Katrina as kids. Towards the end of the documentary, they talk about the reason New Orleans got so bad crime wise was because of gentrification of the projects such as Magnolia and Calliope and sending all of them to New Orleans East. They said that caused a lot of fighting and killings because of people reppin their sets and hood that they were from. At the end of the documentary, the guy who produced it said he never feels safe in New Orleans and always has anxiety but when he goes out of town, he feels at peace and able to relaxed.

I thought they tore those projects down?

At least there was a time when the majority of the crimes were in the projects. You knew to stay away. But when they got spread out and so did the crime. And a police department that was once filled with corruption played a role in the high crime in the 90s.

Under Latoya the police department went to shite and crime goes up.

Its still not as bad as it was in the 90s, but it sure as shite isn't going to get better under her.

Watched about 45 seconds. Some girl was complaining about the conditions at the dome or civic center or whatever. The doc tells the story of what happens when one depends on others (gov) as the provider.

So poor, young black males not being able to live in the same neighborhood without killing each other over silly shite is the fault of the affluent?
