"As a filmmaker whose professional goal is to speak truth to power, I realize that I can contribute to restoring the vibrant image of New Orleans by telling an intimate story of one family who not only has bravery and a dauntless spirit, but the ability to endure in time of adversity.

The people of New Orleans give me the faith that I, too, can transcend difficulty by remembering the grand history and tradition of our courageous ancestors."

-Nabila Lester, Director
