Rockaway Needs Us

Rockaway Needs Us from everyone and company on Vimeo.

Rockaway Needs Us  is a short film by Everyone and Company. The short film shows the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy which occurred October 29, 2012. It shows the damage that the hurricane did to Rockaway, Queens. The hurricane did a lot of damage, especially to these people because they live on/by the beach. A lot of people were left homeless. The hurricane tore down homes, cars, and left a lot of people in need for desperate help. Some houses were damaged so bad that all that was left was a wall with a frame.
Hurricane Sandy didn't have this same affect on many other place, like Manhattan and Brooklyn and a lot of other places. I was in Manhattan while the hurricane was happening and from by house i was able to see the east river water rising and coming towards my building. We were forced to evacuate and lost all power and water for about a week. As a teenager being with out electricity was like the end of the world for me, as it was for many other people. But after seeing this amazing video and how it captures the hurt in people's eye's and the damage that the hurricane did, my prospective changed completely. I was thankful and felt blessed that i was where i was. I was thankful that the worst thing that happened to me was loosing power for a week because other had it so much worse. These people are left with nothing at all, nothing but their family and friends.
