Time To Release Digital Documentary About New Orleans On August 27

Time, Inc. is about to drop one of its first major online video projects. As part of its larger digital video strategy, the publishing giant is releasing its anthology-style documentary series New Orleans, Here & Now across multiple digital platforms on August 27, 2015, nearly ten years after the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

Produced alongside Killer Films, Field Office Films, and production and distribution company Rampante, New Orleans, Here & Now contains six different short films centered on the lives of individuals living in the post-Katrina Louisiana city. For example, one of the documentary’s episodes will cover the story of an oyster farmer and his decades-long quest to build a boat, while another segment will show four high school seniors, who were only eight when Katrina hit, preparing for graduation.

Time will release New Orleans, Here & Now on its own website; visitors to Time.com will be able to view one of the six segments of the documentary, while the remaining five will be exclusive to subscribers only. Additionally,

People.com (whch is owned by Time, Inc.) will run one of the documentary series’ episodes for its own audience. New Orleans, Here & Now will also be available for purchase and viewing on Hulu, Sundance Doc Club, iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
