      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On August 25, 2005 Hurricane Katrina blew into The Big Easy and destroyed more than just businesses and lives of the residents. The unique music culture in New Orleans was decimated by the storm that changed Southern Louisiana forever. In this documentary Robert Mugge captures the shock and sorrow of the local musicians who have been scattered due the storm, and documents their struggle to come home to New Orleans and revive their lives and the music scene that has become synonymist with New Orleans. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD shows well-balanced colors, good black levels, and decent shadow delineation. There are times when the imagery can look overly soft

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
