On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina bore down on the city of New Orleans, resulting in one of the greatest tragedies in American history. The in-depth news coverage provided by The Times-Picayune, the leading daily newspaper of New Orleans, contributed to their winning two Pulitzer Prizes. Eyes of the Storm tells the story of The Times-Picayune photographers who stayed behind and covered the devastation of their own city, recalled in their own words two years later.
