Britain Isn't Working
The day starts just like any other. People ride to work in rows, the same things on TV and the computer makes the same noise when you switch it on. Then something peculiar happens... Flights start to become delayed, the computer groans when it gets touched and a machine spits out passenger departure tickets at an airport. On TV... Two News Anchors introduce themselves on the Six O'Clock News and then go deadly silent live on air. They have no news. We see passengers stuck in a tunnel on the Tube. They read newspapers with no words printed inside. Mayor Bunion is desperately trying to cover up details of his personal life when we first meet him. He hires a woman to pose as his girlfriend as he admits, 'If the press found out I am completely faithful to my wife I'd be laughed out of office.' Then his Advisor steps in the room. He breaks the news; 'Sir, we have a problem...London isn't Working.' Finally, as the Mayor of London awaits instruction from the Prime Minister, his city literally shuts down beneath him. But then the Prime Minister devises a unique plan.

Bayou Landfall
A Movie by Leslye Abbey L.I. International Humanitarian Film & Video Expo -2006 Award On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept ashore on the Louisiana coast. Among those communities devastated by her impact were the smaller Houma Indian settlements in lower Plauemines, lower St. Bernard, and lower jefferson parishes. The population of these Indian settlements, some 3500 tribal citizens, was hit hard by the storm. Over one thousand of that number were left homeless, their homes completely destroyed by wind and water. As the tribe struggled to bring aid to its citizens and channel its few resources to their benefit, Hurricane Rita entered the Gulf of Mexico and tracked westward towards Louisiana. At risk was the core of the Houma Indian population that resides in the lower bayou regions of Laforche and Terrabone parishes. While they were spared the direct impact with which Katrina had assaulted the eastern communities, the "near miss" by Rita pushed a massive storm surge into the bayous. Their more populous settlements in lower Terrabone were submerged. The Houma communities of Dulac, Gran Caillou, Montegut, Pointe-aux-Chene, and Isle de Jean Charles were inundated with seven to eight feet of water. An additional 4000 tribe member's homes were lost. The Houma are a state-recognized tribe that have bee fighting for Federal recognition for decades.
