HOLIDAY ANALYSIS: TV DRAMA: TREME

This extract for Treme (pronounced Tremay) is set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history because of the loss of life and the expensive damage. Eighty percent of New Orleans lay under water after the epic collapse of the area’s flood-protection system—more than 110,000 homes and another 20,000 plus businesses, along with most of the city’s schools, police and fire stations, electrical plans, and its public transportation system.

Representation: NB. Do not confine your answer to the representation of ethnicity. This is an older exam format.
