"Hurricane Strip" is a provocative documentary detailing the life changing effects of Hurricane Katrina. Unlike countless other reports, this film centers on the little talked about, though quintessentially New Orleans, lives of Bourbon Street Strippers. Before the storm 21-year-old Jordan worked as a cashier at Ace Hardware while pursuing a degree in law. Hurricane Katrina demolished her home, school, and workplace. It could not destroy her indomitable spirit. Though she had never before considered dancing nude, Jordan turned to stripping, determined to earn enough money to someday get her life back on track. But the more she dances the more she gets caught up in the lifestyle, the late nights and the lure of easy money. Now the question is, when you lose everything, will your life ever be the same again?
