Timed alongside the twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the fiftieth birthday of the stadium that got here to symbolize each refuge and renewal, NCS Original Series New Orleans: Soul of a City will air a particular preview of its premiere episode, “Rebirth of the Superdome” on Sunday, August 24 at 8 p.m. CT.
Twenty years in the past, Hurricane Katrina tore via the Gulf Coast, flooding a lot of New Orleans and driving tens of 1000’s to search shelter within the storm-battered Superdome. Once a scene of desperation, the stadium grew to become a cornerstone of town’s restoration — its revival culminating within the New Orleans Saints’ 2010 Super Bowl win, a second that instructed the world town was again.
“Rebirth of the Superdome” options interviews with former Saints gamers Malcolm Jenkins, Deuce McAllister, and Devery Henderson, former mayor Mitch Landrieu, former Superdome common supervisor Doug Thornton, (*24*) Pierce, James Carville, Pam Oliver, Emeril Lagasse, Wynton Marsalis and different New Orleans icons.
While the primary episode tells the story of the Superdome, the complete four-part collection explores the numerous methods town communes with its historical past via music, meals, sports activities, and custom — revealing how, 20 years after Katrina, New Orleans is louder and extra resilient than ever.
“New Orleans is a city that lives its history out loud — in its music, its food, its traditions, and in the way its people rally together,” mentioned Eric Johnson, Executive Producer, NCS Original Series. “The story of the Superdome is the story of a city’s resilience, and it’s just the beginning of what we explore in this series.”
