Based on a true story, when hundreds of residents in a New Orleans apartment complex are trapped in the aftermath of the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history, a Gulf War veteran haunted by PTSD must summon the strength to lead them to survival, confronting not only the failures of government and climate trauma, but the battles within himself.
"Wow. THE AMERICAN CAN is built on such a powerful core group of characters. John Keller is an extraordinarily sympathetic protagonist fighting internal wars on multiple fronts. The diverse cast offers a deep thematic look at a cross section of racism in the American South against an evocative backdrop in which people tend to show their true colors. Overall, the piece is highly cinematic, driven by a singular emotional core and a stylistic verisimilitude in its mixed media approach."
