Hope in High Water

Overview

Trymaine Lee returns to New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where he first reported on Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest disasters in American history, as part of the Times-Picayune newsroom. Two decades later, this in-depth documentary traces the arc of recovery through the voices of those who never left: local leaders who have spent many years not only rebuilding but reimagining the systems that failed their communities long before the storm.
