Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans

Although shot before Hurricane Katrina, this documentary about the restoration of the black New Orleans neighborhood Faubourg Tremé suggests that the city can become a vibrant metropolis once again. The documentary, which has aired on PBS, is told through New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Lolis Eric Elie and shows how dilapidated houses in the historic neighborhood, known for its deep traditions in jazz music and the civil-rights movement, were renovated and brought back to life.
