New Orleans is a city that means a lot to musicians all over the world. So many of them felt compelled to do something when the levees broke. One of them is the rapper Kanye West who made the news with his very emotional statement while the city was still flooded. Well, he didn't back off a year later. Green Day and U2 performed at the benefit concert he organized. The Saints are the New Orleans Football Team - they returned to the Superdome a year after Katrina hit. It felt like a rebirth for the city. This clip contains a lot of original footage from the days after the levees broke - but also some not so subtly manipulated one. What's real and what is not? Describe in at least two paragraphs.
Here is the live version of the song - a little different in the beginning.
.....and for extra credit, check out what Brad Pitt has to contribute....

I think that the real pictures are:
the streets which are full of water, the people with the red flag and the help banner hoping for help.
Also the city which is flooded of water and the many people waiting for help.
the houses without the people in it....the broken down trees and the electricity system of the town full of water
I think the pictures of the warplanes flying above New Orleans are definitley not real.
There is a Breaking News bar in 1:41, which says ''U.S. iraq troops redeployed to New Orleans''.
That can't be true, that is exaggerated. I can't belive that! There is another one in 2:16.
But the pictures of the people begging for help are real.
Brad Pitt:
He joined an organization, which is going to be able to put many families back in their homes.
I think like Lui that the pictures of the warplanes are faked. But I could imagine that the first-aid-equipments were send exactly like in the video. The pictures of the flooded streets, the destruction of hurricane Katrina and the people asking for help are true I think.
The real pictures that the video contains are:
-the flooded houses
-the people holding help-signs
-the huge crowd in front of an around the Pan American Stadium
The unreal pictures are all the ones Lui already mentioned plus the air drops from the Air Force.
I think that all the pictures with the warplanes and helicopters aren't real.None of the american troops had been redeployed from the iraq to New Orleans. All the other pictures from people while waiting in the flooded streets and in the Louisiana Superdome are unfortunately not faked.
