It is 1897 and Louisiana is plagued by a devastating epidemic of yellow fever. Families are being separated and quarantined. Will their loved ones survive? Director Glen Pitre used an all-Cajun cast—mostly non-professionals—to make this memorable dramatic film. New 4K Restoration by IndieCollect created with the support of the Golden Globe Foundation. The festival's in person screenings will include a pre-screening presentation by Emily Perkins, an archivist and cataloguer at the Historic New Orleans Collection's Williams Research Center, about the historical context of yellow fever: its origins, symptoms, treatments, eradication efforts, and the role that mosquitoes played in spreading the disease. She will detail the death counts in the New Orleans region in the 1800s, as compared to other parts of the Gulf South during the same time period, and provide insight into this epidemic and the worldwide response to COVID-19.
