Join Eastside Audubon members and other environmentally-friendly people as we view our May movie, Hurricane on the Bayou. Driven by a rousing jazz and gospel-fueled soundtrack, we follow a group of four musicians as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans: speeding through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on air boats, recounting their heart-wrenching personal stories of Katrina, and most of all, bringing the focus to the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleans first line of defense against deadly storms.
