NoLA is always something that I’ve been excited to learn more about and visit because of all of the excited things that I have heard from friends and family that have had the opportunity to visit the region. It always seemed like a fun place to visit through all of the snaps and instagram posts that I have seen in my lifetime. However, after watching the film, there are realities that are hidden by the general media. Things that the eyes do not see at the surface level. The film revealed the cultural challenges that black families experienced as a result of racism and slavery. Despite NoLa being known for being the birthplace of Jazz, many white authoritative figures in the past have made it challenging for black people to express their culture freely. There continue to be large instances of gentrification where families, usually of African-American descent, are pushed out of their homes in order to “make space” for higher-income businesses and neighborhoods.Because of this, many may say that NoLA is losing its culture. This movie has only made me want to visit NoLA even more so I can visit the neighborhoods that aren’t pictured on social media and see how life is in all of NoLA.
