Synopsis:
New Orleans was once known as a city with good beignets and great jazz, but since Hurricane Katrina, the Crescent City is gaining notoriety for its murder rate - the highest in the nation. Recently, the murders of filmmaker Helen Hill and musician Dinerral Shavers are symbolic of the breakdown of the city's criminal justice system. They were two of nine people murdered within one week. The New Orleans Police Department remains woefully understaffed and overwhelmed by the violence. The assassination of these two dynamic celebrities has mobilized the city of New Orleans. Thousands marched to demand that the mayor, police chief and district attorney fix the broken system of justice and put an end to the storm of murder.
