Post-Katrina New Orleans is a unique microcosm i n which these themes have gained new urgency. Here\, the individual and the communal\, the local and the national are inseparably intertwined\, and precedents will be set that will reverberate in national political d ebates for decades to come.\n\nDespite\, or maybe because of the incompe tent response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the disheartening reluctance of all levels of government to effectively enga ge in the rebuilding process\, New Orleanians have turned to each other for material and moral support. At the same time\, volunteers from all o ver the nation have become the muscle for new and established grassroots organizations\, setting up food banks\, providing medical care\, guttin g homes\, and rebuilding schools and public libraries. Our documentary f ollows these events\, takes stock of the loss that defines the 'storm ge neration\,' and features interviews with 'third responders\,' who dedica te themselves to rebuilding morale among those dispirited by the slownes s of recovery. \n\nIn short\, in a series of interviews\, our documentar y chronicles the achievements of both the local residents and the millio ns of volunteers\, while exploring the limitations and fragility of a re covery process built upon the shoulders of individuals operating almost entirely without government support. Throughout\, the film thus examines larger themes relevant to American society today\, culminating in a fin al discussion of American citizens' vision of and trust in democratic pr ocesses.

To many i n the intelligence community\, the need for this system is essential to fight terrorism. But is this level of secrecy impeding national security or helping it?

Post-Katrina New Orleans is a unique microcosm i n which these themes have gained new urgency. Here\, the individual and the communal\, the local and the national are inseparably intertwined\, and precedents will be set that will reverberate in national political d ebates for decades to come.\n\nDespite\, or maybe because of the incompe tent response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the disheartening reluctance of all levels of government to effectively enga ge in the rebuilding process\, New Orleanians have turned to each other for material and moral support. At the same time\, volunteers from all o ver the nation have become the muscle for new and established grassroots organizations\, setting up food banks\, providing medical care\, guttin g homes\, and rebuilding schools and public libraries. Our documentary f ollows these events\, takes stock of the loss that defines the 'storm ge neration\,' and features interviews with 'third responders\,' who dedica te themselves to rebuilding morale among those dispirited by the slownes s of recovery. \n\nIn short\, in a series of interviews\, our documentar y chronicles the achievements of both the local residents and the millio ns of volunteers\, while exploring the limitations and fragility of a re covery process built upon the shoulders of individuals operating almost entirely without government support. Throughout\, the film thus examines larger themes relevant to American society today\, culminating in a fin al discussion of American citizens' vision of and trust in democratic pr ocesses.

Many seek answers in spirituality\, but often faith and religio n are hijacked by a fundamentalist few who use the name of God to promot e their own ends. With this dichotomy in mind\, we call upon key religio us leaders\, politicians\, and luminaries in their fields to tackle the most complex issues in the modern age\, and we ask what inspires them to affect positive change. The film portrays experiences that provide a ne w perspective on how non-violent activism and compassion can be effectiv ely used in resolving even the most difficult disputes. The film also gi ves hope by exploring past and present religious-inspired movements that have resulted in positive change\, in addition to documenting the work of great leaders such as Gandhi\, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama.
