Burn on The Bayou

The end of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts devasting over 90,000 square miles. Mississippi officials calculated that 90% of the structures within one half mile of the coastline were completely destroyed. 2000 miles away, a group of volunteers emerged from an event in the Nevada desert: Burning Man. The uhnlikely group that converged in Biloxi and Pearlington, Mississippi had in common the shared experience of collaborating and building in harsh environments and the strongly held belief that when people need help, you help them. This film follows the group of volunteers over the seven month of work following the storm, and it features interviews with both volunteers and residents. Black Rock City TV-14 1.00.00

Oh I see what you did there

What if they took a piece of family prized furniture and deformed it, and burned it? It would just be really sad to me, to see something that was once mine, taken away and used for burning.
