Free and Open to the Public:
Join us for a coastal meet-and-greet and screening of Last Call for the Bayou, a series of five documentary films about people confronting Louisiana's land loss crisis.
5:00-6:00pm: Coastal Meet-and-Greet
6:00-7:00pm: Screening of Last Call for the Bayou
About the films:
Paragliding high above the wetlands of Southern Louisiana, Ben Depp photographs the sublime complexity of the Mississippi River Delta. His awe is mixed with sadness, however. The wetlands are rapidly disappearing. His is just one of the five stories this series intimately follows: from a local fisherman, to a biological scientist, to the Native American people of the United Houma Nation who call the wetlands home. By capturing the lives, livelihoods, and cultures facing extinction along with this precious ecosystem (and the city of New Orleans that it protects), Last Call For the Bayou is a cinematic call to action: act now, or let these myriad histories be lost forever.
