Hurricane on the Bayou is an American 2006 documentary film that focuses on the wetlands of Louisiana before and after Hurricane Katrina.
Hurricane on the Bayou is both a documentary of Hurricane Katrina's effects and a call to restore Louisiana's wetlands, rebuild New Orleans, and honor the culture of the city. The film is narrated by actress Meryl Streep and driven by a jazz-, blues-, Cajun-, and gospel-fueled soundtrack featuring Tab Benoit, Amanda Shaw, Mavis Staples, and Allen Toussaint.
It was originally a "what-if" scenario about a major hurricane impacting New Orleans – prior to Hurricane Katrina.[1] The film debuted at the Entergy IMAX in New Orleans, on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, several months before being shown elsewhere.
^Burr, Ty (March 16, 2007). "A big uneasy warning from Mother Nature". The Boston Globe. Retrieved April 9, 2019. MacGillivray was making "Hurricane" before Katrina struck, and he borrowed a chopper from the Florida set of "Miami Vice" to get his IMAX shots of the post-storm landscape. What was intended to be a warning about future cataclysm has become a powerful documentary of present-tense disaster.
