While many of us have seen it on TV, what would it take for someone to leave his home and drive across the country to experience it first hand?\r\n\r\nOn 26 September 2005, Carlin Comm left Wenatchee, WA, driving cross-country, to make an independent video documentary of the survivors of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Rather than being funded by corporate sponsorship or other media organization, his mission was largely self funded, and supported by friends, neighbors, and family.\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nI have recently finished editing a feature length documentary featuring the stories of 8 storm survivors who were affected by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. The stories were recorded in Memphis, the Survivors were from other areas that were directly hit by the storms. For more information, please see the included website urls.
