	The students at New Orleans West College Prep in Houston are all former New Orleans residents who were uprooted by Katrina. By conducting personal interviews and combining the resulting footage with illustrative images and video clips, fourth-grade through eighth-grade students at the school developed narratives that vividly portray their memories of the storm, their experiences in their adopted home of Texas, and their hopes and expectations for the future.
