The Whole Gritty City follows three New Orleans marching bands rising up in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

The film follows kids one step away from the lures and dangers of the streets, through moments of setback, loss, discovery, and triumph. What happens in their bands reveals the power and resilience of a culture.
