Slow Drag in the Big Uneasy

With a grant from the Ford Foundation, Slow Drag in the Big Uneasy follows the stories of men and women as they commit their lives to making The Crescent City more just for its most disadvantaged and vulnerable citizens. As characters share their stories with us, their lives become a window into how social injustice and criminal injustice policies fuel each other and create a ‘war on the poor.' And we’ll see what can happen when dedicated people work together for reform and transformation. Our film will reference stories and events in other jurisdictions, to remind viewers that the failure of justice for ordinary citizens is an American problem, not just a New Orleans problem.
