'Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans” takes a fascinating look at one of New Orleans' most mysterious neighborhoods. Long ago, this place was home to the most prosperous and politically active black community in America. Here black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor cohabitated, and clashed to create much of what defines New Orleans today. Drawing on footage shot before and after Hurricane Katrina, “Faubourg Tremé'” uncovers Treme's forgotten past in a riveting tale of hope, heartbreak, endurance and haunting historic parallels.
