Veins in the Gulf (54 minutes, on-going, began 2003) is a documentary that traces the history of rapidly disappearing bayous, the environmental crisis of southern Louisiana, and the international impact of Cajun culture, which is quickly losing ground. Through interviews with fishermen, poets, musicians, and Cajun oilmen, alongside haunting shots of a troubled landscape, we bear witness as Louisiana residents confront the mortality of their culture. Poet Martha Serpas guides us through the heart of Southern culture to discover where great American literature, music, seafood and oil have come from for the past century. But probably not for the next.
Produced, written, directed, shot and edited by Ted Hardin and Elizabeth Coffman
