Excellent Documentary and fabulous naration1

Mr. McGowan did a fabulous job narrating and puuting together a compelling documentary. My only complaint is that they did not show much footage of Westlake which is at the foot of the Calcasieu River bridge. Before the hurricanes there were tons of old trees that made Westlake appear as a green canopy from the top of the bridge. Now when you cross you see houses, blue roofs, and demolished homes or vacant lots.

Westlake banded together and helped neighbors, friends, family and strangers. Like Lake Charles, we are still in recovery mode. Some people are just now getting their homes repaired.

Watch this movie! Share it with your friends and family. Ask them to share with their friends. We should not have to be left behind when our government wants to help every other country but their own.
