Getting Back to Abnormal
2014, 91 minutes, produced and directed by Louis Alvarez, Andrew Kolker, Peter Odabashian, and Paul Stekler
Getting Back To Abnormal is an intimate look at race, politics and culture in post-Katrina New Orleans. In its freewheeling tale of exhilaration and dysfunction, it's a reminder of how little has changed in the Crescent City since Lafcadio Hearn wrote in 1883: "The city is buried under fraud and maladministration, but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
