“Left Behind Without a Choice” is a feature-length documentary that highlights animal rescue efforts after Hurricane Katrina left a wake of devastation in her path on August 29, 2005.
The movie takes a look at the complex and challenging rescue efforts, including searching flooded streets and abandoned homes for pets, the dangerous rehabilitation of some pets that had been used for illegal dog-fighting, and the legal challenges that rescuers faced in New Orleans.
But, it’s ultimately a story of hope, highlighting miraculous rescues, transformations and even reunions.
The movie premiered on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina to a sold-out theater. And, even animals that were rescued from the disaster were invited to attend, and walked the red carpet into the theater.
The film is a collaborative effort of Minneapolis-based filmmakers, cast and musicians. I worked alongside director Kim Walsh-Borgan to craft the narrative in the editing suite. And, it features original music from Marc Perlman (The Jayhawks) and Jessy Greene (tours with The Foo Fighters).
