STILL BOILING HURRICANE KATRINA DOCUMENTARY

Still Cooking, Still Boiling, Still Here... Still Forgotten

A Film by Ellen "Butterflyy" Allen

Step directly into the unvarnished soul of New Orleans.

In this powerful, purpose-driven documentary, filmmaker Ellen "Butterflyy" Allen unveils a gripping cinematic journey through the historic Lower Ninth Ward, marking 20 years since the catastrophic levee breaches of Hurricane Katrina. While the world speaks of resilience, culture, and rebuilding, this film delivers an unforgettable, captivating look at a human experience that has been swept under the rug for two decades.

This is not a Hollywood tearjerker designed for easy pity. This is pure, uncut authenticity.

“Why doesn’t home look like what it used to feel like?”

At the heart of this documentary is a question that cuts straight to the bone. Follow Ellen as she journeys back through the very streets that shaped her, walking the path from her childhood home to her grandmother’s house, passing her old elementary school, her high school, and the sanctuaries of her youth. These are the blocks where she spent the first 33 years of her life until that fateful day changed everything.

Six Voices. Six Decades of Truth.

To find out what happened to the neighborhood the world moved on from, Ellen sits down with six individuals who refuse to be silenced. These aren't outside commentators; these are lifelong residents some who have held ground on these streets for over 50 and 60 years and who made the conscious, defiant choice to return.

Through their authentic voices, they share their side of history, revealing what it truly means to survive, to rebuild, and to wait. Together, they confront the ultimate reality of their community: When will the Lower Ninth Ward finally look and feel like home again?

A Journey of Purpose

Impactful, intentional, and deeply personal, this film will keep you captivated from the first frame to the final credits. It is an invitation to witness a living heritage, a celebration of unyielding spirit, and a demand for answers.

Let’s journey across the canal together. Let’s find out why we are still forgotten
