VIDEO:  This is What you Paid to See: New Orleans for Sale! (Film Your Issue)
 
 
My name is Brandan Odums aka Bmike, 22. New Orleans, LA. The video was created by 2-cent, a group of New Orleans college students. We collectively make projects aimed at inspiring change within the young generation. Post Katrina, we did a lot of projects in the lower 9th ward. We noticed a huge attraction of tourist coming to the city to take tours and snap pictures of the destruction. A lot of locals took offense to it as a freak show.
