A new documentary has been released telling the story of Hurricane Katrina from the perspective of jazz musicians who lived through the crisis in New Orleans 13 years ago. Featuring Dr. John, Kermit Ruffins, Clarke Peters and dozens more musicians, the movie tells the story of those who returned to the city and restored the jazz scene in order to support the people and rejuvenate the tourist industry. It’s called ‘One Note At A Time’ and released as a stream next week with limited cinema screenings across the UK now (see list below).

Director and producer Renee Edwards says: “I felt compelled to make this film having visited the city throughout my life to see my family. I’m British born to an English mother and African American father. School summer holidays were regularly spent in New Orleans. As an adult I came to know the city in a new way, and very much appreciated the live sound of the music which beat through my childhood. Through the film we were able to capture a special moment in music history, though the issues raised in the film are ongoing. I believe as a black, female film maker, of mixed African American and British heritage, that I was able to tell this story in a unique way.”
