Herbert Gettridge is an 82-year-old man struggling to rebuild his home in New Orleans' lower ninth ward following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He is the subject of a new documentary, The Old Man and the Storm. Producer June Cross talks about her film, the Gettridges' long journey to restore life and as they once knew it.
