This is to let you know of an upcoming LPB and PBS television documentary
that may be of interest to you. 

 Christina Melton, an award winning Louisiana Public Broadcasting producer
has completed a powerful documentary that will air within Louisiana on
public broadcasting stations on the one-year anniversary of Katrina on
August 29, 2006 at 8:00 p.m.  It will air again in Louisiana on September 3,
2006 at 4:00 p.m.

 For those of you outside of Louisiana, Washing Away will air nationally on
September 7, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. CST (9:00 p.m. EST).

 Washing Away: Losing Louisiana - the story of Louisiana's disappearing
coastline and how this unfolding crisis affects all of America - is told
through the eyes of people affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  It is
narrated by academy award winner, Susan Sarandon.

 If you have the time, it would help if you could spread the word to your
friends and contacts around the United States about this documentary.  

 Washing Away is a very powerful story that will help people to understand
the depth of the connection between our south Louisiana culture, economy,
and ecology.
