Cult of Personality

Cult of Personality documents the 2006 New Orleans Mayoral election - the most important race for mayor in the history of New Orleans and one of the most unusual elections in the country. Less than a year after Hurricane Katrina, an eclectic group of candidates vied for the attention of voters, many of whom were still displaced. Cult of Personality gives a glimpse into the unique brand of New Orleans politics, which is only surpassed by its spirited citizens who tackle the issues at hand with “Big Easy” charm.
