American Creole: New Orleans Reunion
A one-hour special about the efforts of New Orleans bandleader Don Vappie to "bring the music home" by convincing his extended family of professional musicians and his own bandmates to return for a post-Katrina reunion concert in the Crescent City. The documentary will explore how Hurricane Katrina displaced a culture exemplified by the music of New Orleans and raised questions about the survival of the Creole identity.
