We Shall Not Be Moved, Act I: "The Way"

http://www.weshallnotbemoved.org
More than 100 New Orleans musicians and vocalists came together over nine months to produce the We Shall Not Be Moved music video to heal, uplift and unify the people of New orleans and the surrounding areas. Act I is the emotional journey from weariness and doubt through rising resolve and fiery courage on the way to building a future for the city they love.

i was in the same part. it took SO long for us to get that part right, with the hand and the switching sides (girl in green shirt= me). we actually took up the whole filming time trying to perfect that one part. and you're right: it was worth every second

Absolutely wonderful. My son Daniel appears with the New Orleans Opera chorus and I loved seeing and hearing him. Just wish there was video of his conducting skills.

Very touching. I hope these videos get the attention they deserve. NOLA, there's no other city like it!

[AustinGSDRescue]

Absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to share it with the next person who says that NOLA should be relocated. The video does make it even harder to wait for my next visit to New Orleans, though :)
