Walking to New Orleans
by Lynn Estomin
2006, 5.15 minutes
Walkin’ to New Orleans documents the march by hundreds of U.S. veterans and survivors of Hurricane Katrina through the ninth ward of New Orleans on the third anniversary of the war in Iraq. Veterans Kelly Dougherty and Tina Garnanez led the last leg of the week-long March for Peace and Justice from Mobile, AL to New Orleans, LA. Kelly and Tina talk about being recruited in high school, what is like to be a soldier in Iraq and why they went to New Orleans. Footage of New Orleans and Iraq devastation and Ritsu Katsumata’s blues track punctuate a call for peace from two young women who experienced war.
