New Orleans Exposed directed by Dawayne Morgan is a film made in 2005, before Katrina changed the city. It was made at a time when New Orleans, the Big Easy was crowned the murder capital. The dark side of New Orleans housing projects without sugar coating but with real life New Orleans Rappers.
Gun was easy to come by, it was a product that made somebody a man in the ghetto, as the guys in the film explain. Some blame the bad education system, some the lack of jobs, or the lack of jobs that show beyond McDonald's. Some point out that there's a lot of retaliation going on, but almost all agreed that ghetto gunmen are/were not representing gangs, instead, " it's 'an individual mayhem.'"
"Enter the world of New Orleans. No, not the French Quarter or Mardi Gras, but the the gritty urban life that is live in New Orleans many projects. The harsh reality of the inner city exposed; drugs, guns, corruption, food, music, culture. This is the Big Easy as you've never seen it before. Features Juvenile, Sqad Up, B.G., 5th Ward Weebie, Tribute To Soulja Slim and more." The 2006 version is 30 min longer than the 2005 (including a bit on Katrina)
