The first documentary about bounce, Ya Heard Me, is a bottom-up look at the genre. With much of the footage shot before Hurricane Katrina, Ya Heard Me serves not only as a testament to the city's musical legacy but as a lasting document of a city that will never be the same. As a bittersweet footnote, the film explores the surviving genre as it rebuilds and disperses in the wake of the storm, with displaced residents taking the sound of New Orleans to all corners of the South and beyond.
