EVERYONE IS TAKEN BY STORM

DESPITE what you might believe watching news coverage, African-Americans were not the only people hit hardest by hurricane Katrina.

Whites who could barely survive be fore the super storm were equally victim ized.

“Kamp Ka trina,” a touching documentary by Ashley Sabin and David Redmon, introduces us to some of them, resi dents of the makeshift Kamp Katrina.

It’s located in the back yard of the home owned by an eccentric 56-year-old Native-American woman, identified only as Ms. Pearl, and her husband, who works in construction.

Fortunate enough to live in an area of the city that received minimal damage, they invite the homeless to camp out on their property.

Fourteen people show up. One woman, a former crack addict, is pregnant. Another entertains the gang by taking out her artificial eye and showing it off. A delusional gentleman insists Joan of Arc is his girlfriend.

In other words, these aren’t the kind of people with whom you spend quality time. Ms. Pearl best sums up the collection of druggies and boozers as folks who “don’t do it mainstream.”

Sabin and Redmon are nonjudgmental, although the mayor looks bad for kicking homeless people out of a city park after well-to-do neighbors complained.

Even in the aftermath of a disaster, class prejudice persists.
