10th December, 2005. New Orleans, Louisiana. 3 1/2 months after the storm. From fancy lights, to meagre lights to no Christmas lights. A car remains pinned underneath a house in the Gentilly neighbourhood. Residents of the neighbourhood complain that they see no attempts to help them, no federal help, local government help, nothing. Curfews remain in place after dark, painfully slowly mountains of trash are cleared from the streets, there is no electricity or gas, although the water is allegedly 'safe' to drink.
