Ethnic Vietnamese Immigrants in New Orleans: A Story on PBS

http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/village-called-versailles/film.html

“When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in August 2005, Versailles residents rebuilt their neighborhood faster than most other damaged neighborhoods in the city, only to find themselves threatened by a new toxic landfill slated to open just two miles away. Forced out of Vietnam by the war 30 years ago, many residents felt their homes were being taken away from them once again.” (Source: Indepent Lens)
