Mine Premiering Tonight on Independent Lens on PBS

“One from the heart, the documentary Mine relates yet one more wrenching, infuriating story about Hurricane Katrina and the devastation wreaked both by the storm and by human error and indifference… It’s smart, sincere, and affecting.”
– The New York Times

During the evacuation for Hurricane Katrina, people were forced to leave behind more than just their homes. Thousands of stranded pets were rescued and then adopted into new homes across the United States. As residents slowly returned to try and rebuild their lives, these “Katrina pets” became the center of full-blown custody battles, with people on both sides struggling to do what was right in the midst of an impossibly complex situation.

Mine premieres tonight, February 16, at 10:00 PM on Independent Lens on PBS (check local listings).
