The Great Gatsby
Trailer
Two independent filmmakers, Ed Pincus and Lucia Small, took their outrage about Katrina on a road trip from New England to New Orleans to meet with refugees along the way and study how they were coping with their personal diaspora. People were seeing snow for the first time, encountering teachers without a sense of humor, and getting just plain frustrated with going to FEMA and telling them the same story for the tenth time. They make the uneasy choice of integrating themselves into the story, ‘because when you’re two white northerners heading South, remaining behind the camera just doesn’t feel like an option.’ The Ax in the Attic documents the natural and human landscape of Katrina and how evacuees adjust, or do not, to new environs sometimes achingly familiar and sometimes wholly alien. Having lost everything, they seek safety and comfort however they can. Amid the grieving and isolation, family, church, cell phones, and consumer goods become life support. The filmmakers encounter a range of evacuees grappling with the daily grind of their altered lives — from a close-knit African- American family that comes from the Lower Ninth in New Orleans to start over in the wintry hills of suburban Pittsburgh, to a single, white working mother raising two teenagers living in a condo on the outskirts of Cincinnati, to Baker, Louisiana, where the residents of FEMA’s largest trailer park live as if in a refugee camp. The consequences of a breakdown of trust between a government and its citizens and the enduring capacity of human beings to face their survival with dignity form the backdrop for this universal story of the search for home.
