Tom McPhee's an American opera The greatest pet rescue ever!

Streaming video - 2009

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a massive storm that devastated and nearly destroyed the city of New Orleans, the United States of America suffered the worst domestic animal crisis in its history. Tens of thousands of house pets were left to die in neighborhoods all across the region as owners were forced to evacuate without their pets. Officials, rescuers and adopters of animals worked through the devastation only to discover that not everyone was working toward the same goal. An American Opera is an extraordinary look at a city in chaos and the volunteers who came from all over the world to help restore order. This was truly the greatest pet rescue ever.
