One-Eyed Girl

Austin Premiere!

In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the small coastal communities of Hancock County, MS. Hour after hour the unrelenting winds and high wa ter destroyed nearly everything. One-Eyed Girl is a story of one community’s survival through the worst natural disaster in our country’s history. Experience the storm and its aftermath through the stories of larger-than-life characters. A factory worker rides out the storm on the beach. A local radio operator repairs a communications tower during the storm. A volunteer firefighter daringly saves a family from a drowning vehicle. Volunteers from all around the country bring the community hope, and the local artists and musicians give the community life. One-Eyed Girl is a fun, sincere, and uplifting look at how one community refuses to be a victim.
