"Hurricane on the Bayou" is both a documentry of Hurricane Katrina's effects and a call to restore Louisiana's wetlands, rebuild New Orleans, and honor the culture of the city. The film is narrated by actress Meryl Streep and driven by a jazz-, blues-, Cajun-, and gospel-fueled soundtrack featuring Tab Benoit, Amanda Shaw, Mavis Staples and Allen Toussaint. It was originally a "what-if" scenario about a major hurricane impacting New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina. The film debuted at the Entergy IMAX in New Orleans, La., on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, several months before being shown elsewhere.

The soundtrack, produced by the Audubon Nature Institute, includes performances of the jazz, blues and gospel that appeared in the film, as well as samples of Dixieland and other pieces by Fats Domino, Chubby Carrier and The Neville Brothers. Proceeds go to the Audubon Nature Institute.
