SPOTLIGHT: KATRINA PET AND ANIMAL RESCUE FOOTAGE!Ride Hamilton shows the FOURTH intense video excerpt from his in-progress Hurricane Katrina Documentary. The only tapestry of stories filmed LIVE as it was and STILL IS happening. It covers in tragic, emotional, and honest detail - everyday of the storm from DAY ONE to TODAY.---------------------THIS PODCAST:Ride walks with Janice White of the Red Cross through the worst hit area of the 9th Ward. He asks, "Why is the section locked off?" She answers, "There's too many dead bodies in these houses, and we also don't know which ones may fall down on you." She continues, "Maybe by December we can find the bodies and let residents in."Then, Ride continues with the dedicated pet and animal rescue volunteers as they try to save a dog desperately trapped between houses that are collided together. It's literally a maze of wood, nails, metal, and debris. The dog was spotted by boat weeks ago, and now as some land is beginning to dry, the pet rescue volunteers come back to try again to rescue this same dog. Alas, it is still trapped, and all they can do is leave food and water.---------------------ABOUT THE FILM MAKER:Ride Hamilton was the only photo-journalist to never evacuate - and stay living and participating in the New Orleans community throughout Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the electricity-less, water-less, and MRE, heat, and mosquito-filled months afterwards. While instantly becoming a citizen first-responder and the French Quarter medic the moment Katrina left on August 29, he interviewed everyone he came across. Everyone from victims in canoes, to New Orleans Firefighters on rescues and eventually dead body searches. These are their stories. The stories of heroes and victims, and what really happened and is still happening. http://www.RideHamilton.com
