Video Clips from The Gulf Coast: Road To Renewal

Nightly Business Report presents "The Gulf Coast: Road To Renewal." This special reports on the status of the rebuilding efforts and the struggles of individuals to piece their lives back together, and considers how the Gulf Coast that emerges from the damage will compare to the one that existed before Katrina.

NBR covers the Gulf Coast in two parts: a holiday special during NBR's regular air time on April 14, 2006, and a one-hour prime time special airing on PBS stations nationwide. Here are selected video clips from both programs:
