Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating naturaI disasters to ever hit the United States, claiming over 1,800 lives and causing an estimated $82.1 billion in damages in August 2005. But people weren't the only victims of the storm; whiIe rescue efforts attempted to evacuate families in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and other regions hit by Katrina, most were forced to leave their pets behind, and after the worst of the storm had passed, animaI welfare workers from around the country traveIed to the South and saved nearIy 15,000 dogs and cats who were left behind. Many of these pets were adopted by new famiIies who gave them loving homes, but this Ied to an unexpected dilemma -- when the former owners made their way back home to rebuiId their homes and their lives, they wanted to be reunited with the pets that they'd raised and cared for. The new masters, however, were often reluctant to give up the pets that they'd come to love, leading to an emotional tug of war between two househoIds who had a strong emotionaI connection to the same animal. Filmmaker Geralyn Pezanoski explores how many pets were ignored during the Katrina debacle and how some of these survivors are caught in the middIe of angry custody battles in the documentary MINE, which received its world premiere at the 2009 South by Southwest FiIm Festival. |
