HURRICANE KATRINA Documentary (PART 4)

SPOTLIGHT: KATRINA PET AND ANIMAL RESCUE FOOTAGE!

Ride Hamilton shows the FOURTH intense video excerpt from his in-progress Hurricane Katrina Documentary. The only tapestry of stories filmed LIVE as it was and STILL IS happening. It covers in tragic, emotional, and honest detail - everyday of the storm from DAY ONE to TODAY.

---------------------

THIS PODCAST:
Ride walks with Janice White of the Red Cross through the worst hit area of the 9th Ward. He asks, "Why is the section locked off?" She answers, "There's too many dead bodies in these houses, and we also don't know which ones may fall down on you." She continues, "Maybe by December we can find the bodies and let residents in."

Then, Ride continues with the dedicated pet and animal rescue volunteers as they try to save a dog desperately trapped between houses that are collided together. It's literally a maze of wood, nails, metal, and debris. The dog was spotted by boat weeks ago, and now as some land is beginning to dry, the pet rescue volunteers come back to try again to rescue this same dog.

Alas, it is still trapped, and all they can do is leave food and water.

---------------------

ABOUT THE FILM MAKER:
Ride Hamilton was the only photo-journalist to never evacuate - and stay living and participating in the New Orleans community throughout Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the electricity-less, water-less, and MRE, heat, and mosquito-filled months afterwards. While instantly becoming a citizen first-responder and the French Quarter medic the moment Katrina left on August 29, he interviewed everyone he came across. Everyone from victims in canoes, to New Orleans Firefighters on rescues and eventually dead body searches. These are their stories. The stories of heroes and victims, and what really happened and is still happening.

wow, if our Government helped the people the way these people helped the animals, some of this pain could have been avoided.

@luvlife347 i'm not saying human life isn't important, but the people finding those dogs, that IS their job, not to find people, but animals. They knew where that dog was, if they saw a person, then they would help them to, katrina was horrible, and it wasn't just humans who suffer, but as i've said, the people who were helping that dog, came down there, because it's there jobs, not because they choose the dog over humans.

@stalag58 You mother should have drown your racist ass when you were born.

People like you who only have online confidence show your ignorance and lack of education to any facts post racist comments like yours to issues you know nothing about.

Hurrican Katrina was the destruction of all people, you swamp backwoods child. Even your poor trash people did some looting.

I wish you death...SOON.

@luvlife347 Because Animals are cute niggers are ugly ... Stop bitching every black person got at least 10 pairs of Niki shoes from looting Wall,Mart

[luvlife347]

@sissybearsheba Please, Human life is far more important than some animal. I would rather them save one of the many elderly or children than some dog. Then, if there was enough time they could save some animal.

[sissybearsheba]

@luvlife347 you wouldn't be saying that if you were those animals, they actually knew where the dog was, and it was their job, they didn't choose to stay behind.
