When Six Flags Meets Katrina and Apathy

Six Flags New Orleans closed down in preparation for Hurricane Katrina, but never opened again. For the past five years, the park, located in the devastated Ninth Ward of the city, has been abandoned. With the City of New Orleans’s permission, this cinemographer captured this eerie, haunting and emotional film of the park, which is slated to be demolished in a coupla months.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more apt and symbolic representation of the challenges facing the post-Katrina Big Easy.

Carry on.
