| Summary: | Long ago during slavery, Faubourg Tremae was home to the largest community of free black people in the Deep South and a hotbed of political ferment. Here black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor co-habitated, collaborated, and clashed to create much of what defines New Orleans culture up to the present day. Shot largely before Hurricane Katrina and edited afterwards, the film is both celebratory and elegiac in tone. |
