Making Contact for August 14, 2007
9:30 PM - 10:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Musicians, Migrants, and All That Jazz Edition"
Musicians have always been the heart and soul of New Orleans, and like everyone else in the flood damaged city, they're struggling to survive. Two years after the disaster, only half of the residents have returned, and large swaths of the region remain as uninhabitable as the day the levees broke. And yet the bands play on.
On this edition, correspondent Reese Erlich talks with musicians to learn how the historic New Orleans music scene endures and how new influences are bringing hope to the struggling city.
Utilizing voices and perspectives rarely heard in media, Making Contact focuses on the human realities of politics, the connections between local and global events, and creative possibilities for people to engage in hopeful democratic change. Supported by independent funding sources, Making Contact is free to explore corporate connections to national and international policies.
