Independent America: Rising From Ruins

INDEPENDENT AMERICA: RISING FROM RUINS reveals how Americans need local businesses to help their communities thrive and survive through hard times, now more than ever. This gripping documentary follows former NBC correspondent Hanson Hosein to New Orleans, where he investigates the heartbreaking story of post-Hurricane Katrina. Once a city known for its vibrant, independent retail businesses, only a third of businesses have reopened post-disaster, less than half in poorer neighborhoods. Given this unequal playing field between corporate chain and independent retail, will the Mom & Pop shops be strong enough to help revive those areas and restore New Orleans’ proud independence?
