Streep to narrate documentary

Meryl Streep will narrate a documentary shot before and after Hurricane Katrina. The star narrates Hurricane on the Bayou, which will open in New Orleans on August 29 to mark the anniversary of Katrina’s surge through the Gulf Coast.

It will be released in Los Angeles on September 8 and in IMAX theatres worldwide on December 22.
“Meryl Streep’s ability to connect with audiences and the depth she brings to everything she does makes her the ideal narrator for this film, which has so many moods,” director-producer Greg MacGillivray said.

In 1995, Streep lent her voice to The Living Sea. MacGillivray said Hurricane on the Bayou is a call to restore Louisiana’s coastal wetlands, which help protect

New Orleans against deadly storms, as well as a “profound musical celebration of a city that has been called the soul of America.”
