Hurricane Strip is a provocative docuDrama detailing the life-changing effects of Hurricane Katrina. This film centers on the little talked-about lives of Bourbon Street strippers. Hurricane Katrina demolished her home, school, and workplace. It could not destroy her indomitable spirit. Though she never before considered dancing nude, Jordan turned to stripping, determined to earn enough money to someday get her life back on track.

Now the question is, when you lose everything, will your life ever be the same again?
