Here's what people say about the film:

 

"Forgotten on the Bayou" doesn't look or feel like a documentary; in spirit
and tone, it's the closest thing I've seen to a classic Frank Capra
movie...except it's all true. This David and Goliath story, much like its
hero, Rocky Vacarella, is a real one-of-a-kind. Fresh, funny, and wildly
entertaining, "Forgotten on the Bayou" plays out like a Michael Moore film
with one major difference: You don't feel depressed or cynical exiting the
theater; you feel elated."
David Dubos
Movie Talk

 

"Not a dry eye in my house during the viewing. Rockey is truly an incredible
individual and those that backed him and believed in him are no less heroic.
Congratulations is not an adequate word. No words are adequate. It is truly
the most remarkable documentary I have ever seen."
Garland Robinette
WWL Radio

 

"Rockey's road leads to inspiring film. (Director) Scaffidi positions the
film as an inspirational story, a statement about what one person can
accomplish if he puts his mind to it. It also bears an undeniable relevance,
given all the work that still must be done."
Mike Scott
Times Picayune

 

"It was an inspiring movie...inspiring movie! This picture presented the
heart and soul of the folks in St. Bernard Parish."
Chairman Donald Powell
Head of Gulf Coast Rebuilding

 

"The film was spectacular. Rockey did one hell of a job. I tell you,
following him from leaving here and making it all the way to Washington,
D.C., it was like I was going with him."
Charmaine Neville
Award-Winning Entertainer
