TriPod released a three part mini series that dives into the city’s messy relationship with water titled Nola Vs. Nature. Ben Franklin High School teacher Lauren Lastrapes created a unit thinking about New Orleans as a site within a larger cultural and environmental ecosystem using two of the episodes, one on the Wood Screw Pump, and one on the Industrial Canal.
