WALKING ON DEAD FISH is a heart-felt documentary about a small-town high school football team and its "DISPLACED PLAYERS" who are thrown together by the powerful winds and floods of Katrina.
Located just 15 miles west of New Orleans, the tiny town of La Place, escaped the cruel flooding of its neighbor only to suffer a different kind of flood, the overnight influx of 20,000 displaced hurricane victims. Electricity, food, water and shelter become scarce; traffic, unemployment and long lines prevalent.
The school system was overrun with 1700 displaced students. It's under-funded high school, East St. John, took in 450 of these students, 20 of them football players. Facing the daunting task of integrating players from rival programs into one school, one team, magnanimous Coach Larry Dauterive seemed optimistic.
