Documentary: A Refuge of Last Resort (about Hurricane Katrina)

Bigwig - July 15, 2023

Rewatched A Refuge of Last Resort and thought I would post it here. It’s a first hand account of some families that went through Hurricane Katrina at a hotel in downtown New Orleans. Having grown up in Louisiana, I’m well aware of what should be done, but not everyone has the means to accomplish this, so they take their chances. Many of these personal stories may make you think about how to prepare for these situations or how to handle them when they happen.One of the things that struck me is the hotel workers. They get paid next to nothing but they stay to endure the unknown: no power, upset guests, or worst.

Streaming on Amazon Prime, The Roku Channel (with Ads), and Tubi TV (with Ads) at the time of this posting.

I look forward to watching and learning from this documentary on Hurricane Katrina. Also, anyone interested in disaster documentaries should check out the two documentaries on the Paradise fire in the following link.
