August 29th 2006 marked the one year anniversary of the devastation in New Orleans caused by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This Special Greg Palast Report brings you exclusive footage and the stories you won't hear on the other networks — the hidden political agendas and the suppressed eyewitness reports.

Big Easy to Big Empty - The Untold Story of the Drowning of New Orleans
In this half-hour film, Greg Palast and his team travel to New Orleans to investigate what has happened since Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast last year. On his visit, he discovers that the population of New Orleans is miniscule, the reconstruction sparse, suicide rates are climbing, and many have not, nor know how to, return to the city that care forgot. He examines why residents had to leave, what really caused the flood and why they aren't returning.

Quit blaming Bush. We all know most of these people are lazy people. The government GIVES these people housing and after the storm the housing was too dangerous to go back to. These are the same people shooting at cops right after the storm.

No harm intended but this is an experiment for the camps that are being set up right here in america. In the near future we'll be faced with a decision to live or die, laugh now but this was done purposely in order to experiment with black ops, fema, police and state dept's. This some crazy shit!

I don't even know what to say dawg, these are my people i grew up with and i have to say this, Some people think shit is Entitled to them, they think this housin was meant for them to live in for all their days..

Im glad they tearing them down, Tearing down Iberville projects will be an emotional happy moment for me.. These places kept Blacks down for so long,..

Build better and build in better locations.. (RELOCATE ALL THESE PEOPLE TO THE EAST) build nice cottages and golf courses, Like ATL.
