A Tale of Two River Cities
What St. Louis can learn from New Orleans’s long road to recovery in a new documentary.
A Tale of Two River Cities: Lessons from Hurricane Katrina
Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina, the people of New Orleans continue to live with its impact and reflect on the lessons learned and the questions that remain. As St. Louis recovers from our own natural disaster – the May 16 tornado that devastated more than 20 miles of communities – what was learned from Hurricane Katrina takes on new meaning.
Join Nine PBS's Anne-Marie Berger as she travels back to New Orleans and discovers what went right, what went wrong, and how the region confronted long-standing inequities made worse by disaster.
Katrina's story offers urgent lessons for how St. Louis can not only recover but rebuild stronger and more equitably for the future.
