(Voices from the Flood is the story of the people who were...)
Voices from the Flood is the story of the people who were forced to evacuate their homes and disperse to shelters and makeshift accommodations for over three weeks in the Red River Valley of North Dakota and Minnesota. During that time, cities in the valley were virtual ghost towns, with no electricity, running water, sanitation, jobs, or stores. The story of the flood's impact is told in the voices and rhythms of the people themselves. Over 100 people were asked to tell their stories; these interviews were recorded, transcribed, selected and edited to make an oral history record of the disaster.
