Reviews
"Fascinating...Achieve[s] potent dramatic and emotional impact...Artful, beautiful visual flourishes." Joe Leydon, Variety
"Kamp Katrina is an urban platoon movie. Its setting looks like a combat zone..." Stuart Klawans, The Nation
"The movie’s [a] portrait of New Orleans after the flood, a debris-strewn ghost town where human kindness is overflowing..." New York Times
"Poignant documentary captures beautifully and unflinchingly a harrowing breakdown of social order. The result is a slight little film with a remarkable generosity of spirit." New York Magazine
Description
Kamp Katrina, an award winning cinéma vérité documentary, follows a small group of people who have taken refuge in a garden transformed into a tent city by an extraordinary New Orleans couple, Ms. Pearl and her husband, David. Kamp Katrina focuses on the dialectic between madness and hope in their pursuit of stability.
