A Place Called Desire with Leonard Smith

IT's COMING - October 1st: A Place Called Desire

Kickstarter Campaign

Join Producer Leonard Smith of LS3Studios.com for a discussion about a unique project to chronicle the story of an African American community located in the Upper Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana called Desire.  Leonard Smith has worked tirelessly to interview residents of this community to capture the essence of what it meant for African American families to become homeowners after World War II in one of the first communities designated for returning Veterans.  In addition, this self-contained community of schools, grocery stores, a theatre, and religious institutions allowed the residents to develop a strong bond with their humble beginnings.

A Place Called DESIRE documentary will show how the effects of two powerful, catastrophic disasters, took aim on this once tight-knit community. These disasters are only intensified by the lack of movement from the local, state and federal governments. The goal is to show how residents and former residents are left with a feeling of being forgotten. The clouds of abandonment and homelessness hang low over the once thriving community of Desire.

The kickstarter campaign will provide the needed funds to bring this story to life.  Please support this campaign with your generous contribution to A PLACE CALLED DESIRE- Kickstarter campaign.
