Hurrikan Katrina: Wettlauf gegen die Zeit - Worst-Case-Szenario - Report / Geschichte

A computer-generated image shows the Bowl Effect in New Orleans.

Big Chief Kevin Goodman is a cultural ambassador, coming from a family immersed in the rich traditions of the 7th Ward Black Masking Indian (also referred to as Mardi Gras Indian) culture, which blends African, Native American, and Creole influences. During Katrina, weakened from days without food and water, Goodman bravely held his months-old twin nieces in his arms as he stood in front of news cameras to report the reality of what was happening at the Convention Center. With emotional accounts of survivors and immersive archival footage, National Geographic's Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time reveals Hurricane Katrina as a disaster that was anything but natural.
