Hexing a Hurricane

About This Movie

Hexing a Hurricane dives deep into the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina through a very personal lens. Jeremy Campbell, a New Orleanian himself, captures not just the destruction but the resilience of a city facing unprecedented challenges. The documentary's pacing feels almost rhythmic, reflecting the ebb and flow of hope and despair that enveloped New Orleans post-storm. The score, which features orchestral arrangements, adds a haunting quality, enhancing the emotional weight of the stories told. You get a raw, unfiltered view of real people experiencing real loss, which gives it an authenticity that sometimes feels missing in more polished works. It’s a unique entry in the documentary landscape about a pivotal moment in American history.
