Hurricane Katrina, instead of just devastating the Vietnamese community at the edge of New Orleans, galvanized the residents there into mobilizing against a potentially toxic dump site that the mayor imposed on them without consultation.

That mobilization - among young and old - members of the Vietnamese American community, is well captured in a documentary by filmmaker S. Leo Chiang, "A Village Called Versailles" -- to air 25 May 2010 on PBS stations nation-wide, as part of its Independent Lens series.
