Video: New Orleans: A Labor of Love

>


New Orleans: A Labor of Love, is a documentary that follows 18 Los Angeles Valley College students during their Spring Break volunteering experience. The film is a component of the New Orleans: A Labor of Love public awareness campaign to get 5,000 student volunteers to rebuild in the Gulf Coast during 2008. The grassroots, web-based project is housed at www.nolaboroflove.com, where it also operates as a clearinghouse to connect volunteers for the Gulf Coast relief effort with volunteer opportunities and resources.


"I am one private citizen who has been so moved by the neglect and abuse of poor people in the Gulf Coast that I must do something. I’m pooling my skillsets in filmmaking, photography, multi-media and public relations to form a committed public awareness campaign that will keep this issue on our hearts and minds until our work in the Gulf Coast is done."
