Thousands of displaced persons suffer, provided with corpse-pickling, formaldehyde-contaminated housing in the form of recreational trailers, distributed by FEMA and manufactured by unscrupulous government contractors. Formaldehyde takes its toll on lungs, skin, and life itself. After Katrina has blown away their hopes and dreams, the injured seek justice while the system laughs in their faces.
