The joyous music, melodic language, spicy cuisine & infectious joie de vivre typifies these hardworking people of the bayou. Their sunny demeanor masks their ancestral anguish, while environmental stress, political powerlessness and economic instability threaten to deny them their home & heritage. This documentary offers an intimate portrait of Louisiana's Cajuns whose centuries-old legacy both defines & inspires their lives among moss-draped-cypress recesses of the Atchafalaya Basin. For decades their issues have been ignored, dismissed, or lost in political quagmire. When 2005 saw the vast destruction caused by the hurricanes, failure of the levees and political ineptitude, the Cajun's claims were proven irrefutable and can no longer be denied.
