Two New Orleans high school students wrote and directed their own documentary about the destructive power of the MR-GO shipping channel on Louisiana wetlands. This is an amazing short video, and recently won "Best Personal Film" after being screened at the Remedee Foundation's Reel Earth green carpet event last month.
In “GO-ing Green”, students Jacie Lemon and Sharett Brooks take an airboat tour of the Louisiana wetlands to learn about the consequences of the MRGO industrial canal. Featured in the film are Aaron Viles of the Gulf Restoration Network, Darryl Malek-Wiley, and Ronald Lewis of the Lower Ninth Ward.
Take a look!
