If you are a fan of the really hot blues singer, Tab Benoit, you will really enjoy this movie. Wonderfully done and really moving! It's filmed around the home of Tab in Louisiana. If you get a chance to see it in an Imax Theatre, it will be well worth the price of a ticket. The fabulous sound and scenery is great to watch on the BIG screen. I can't wait to see it again in my own home. The wetlands and destruction of Hurricane Katrina will really move you.

This is an awesome documentary depicting LA wetlands and Katrina information that is further enhanced with entertainment and narration from Tab Benoit and Amanda Shaw. I love the under-water videos, and the flood footage really provide an explanation of what happened to my house, which is outside the levees in Bayou Sauvage. 8.5 feet of water settled and receded in one day and everything was lost by the time we were allowed to return to the city. Hats off to Amanda and Tab for bringing everyone's attention to the wetlands issues on the gulf coast!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing documentary and music, May 19, 2007

This review is from: Hurricane on the Bayou (DVD)

Having spent most of my life in Louisiana, I can vouch for the wonderful images and authentic bayou sounds of Tab Benoit, Amanda Shaw (what an amazing young talent!), Chubby Carrier, and the other artists featured in this movie. My heart aches for the devastion and suffering that remains in New Orleans, from Hurricane Katrina. How compassionately and respectfully this movie shows it! The erosion of the Louisiana coast and wetlands is a serious issue that will impact humans and wildlife far beyond the borders of the state. Thank goodness for passionate advocates such as Tab Benoit, and others, who are trying to make a difference. I cried, laughed, felt full of pride, felt full of despair, as I watched this movie at the OmniMax, and can't wait to own a copy when it is available. Definitely see it at an OmniMax if you can. Like me, you will probably want to own your own copy. I bought the sound track at the theater, after the show. I keep it in my car, and listen to it nearly every day.
