Sothern, a death penalty lawyer who with his wife, photographer Nikki Page, arrived in New Orleans four years ahead of Katrina, delivers a haunting, personal, and quintessentially American story.
Billy Sothern's Down in New Orleans illustrates, in very human and heartbreaking ways, how the horrors that emerged during and following Hurricane Katrina existed long before the storm.

Sothern magnifies the urgency of creating a government that really serves the common good-and a society that protects its poor and vulnerable.-Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor & Publisher, The Nation
