Ashely Hunt/Critical Resistance have a 30min video that documents the
evacuation of New Orleans prisons during Katrina. It's been playing
since since this spring, I think, on Free Speech TV and elsewhere,
including a show this spring at Artists' Space in New York.

I Won't Drown on that Levee and You Ain't Gonna' Break my Back
DVD for sale at: http://criticalresistance.org/index.php?name=crgoods

It's decidedly not 16mm.

enjoy,
