Beyond the Bricks (Neighborhood Story Project)

By Daron Crawford and Pernell Russell

A conversation about life in New Orleans as the city's major public housing projects are torn down. With childhoods spent in the Calliope and St. Bernard Projects, Daron and Pernell document what these communities meant and their families' new footholds in the city. Beyond the Bricks documents the many cultures of teenage New Orleans: rap and dance, skateboarding and fashion, showing strengths and tensions of the different scenes they call home.
