Welcome to New Orleans 10 of 12 - Home

***In order to view this film in its entirety, please visit video.google.com***
"Welcome to New Orleans" is a 58 minute documentary about the city of New Orleans during the first year after Katrina. This film depicts the violence and racism in the impoverished American South. This is a story about the bottom-side of United States--a society that has been left to fend for itself. But more importantly, this film is about hope, in the face of overwhelming adversity.
"Welcome to New Orleans" depicts the ravaged city through the eyes of Malik Rahim, a 58-year-old former member of the Black Panthers, who stayed during and after Hurricane Katrina, in order to help residents. He has become a local hero, as he has built up his grassroots organization, Common Ground Collective, over the past two years. Common Ground has served over 170,000 residents with the help of over 12,000 volunteers, who have traveled from all 50 states and 40 different countries.
But there is still plenty of work to be done. To find out more information, or to make a donation, please visit our site, www.commongroundrelief.org. Thank you.

Guy @ :55 is spot on.

@jimmywhitepride If this guy wants to get mad because blacks are citizens of the U.S., then maybe he should blame his ancestors for bringing blacks here. Maybe the Europeans should have stayed in Europe and not come and take a land that didn't belong to them to begin with; captivate a people and bring them here, only to get upset that they are here. Too bad now, have to live with it and spend the rest of your life complaining.

@nolawyte504 that will never happen because white people. Black people would have been totally different today, if it hadn't been for white people. When that man talk about africa. they don't even do that anymore. the images they show about africa on tv is false.

white man talking a lot of shit on that camera. He lucky because 9 times out of 10 he would have kept his mouth closed.

[PassionateGoth]

Ewww, the ignorant backwards idiot who was talking the majority of the time sounds so damn uneducated. Oh, I bet he makes his family proud.

Why in God's name do people who film documentaries or even news find the most dimwited, backwards jackasses they can put infront of the camera and make the USA as a whole look downright stupid?!

I'm not white nor male, but to hear him talk like that or anyone else for that matter makes me ashamed to even call myself an American.
