This Is My Home

Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster, but the continued displacement of New Orleans public housing residents is a man-made travesty. This documentary is a tribute to the perserverance of the displaced residents of New Orleans, and it is a call to action for the public, politicians, and all justice-minded people to support their right to return home. Labor Beat presents this video, produced by Advancement Project, www.advancementproject.org
