A trailer for the upcoming film “IKE: A Documentary.”
The story behind the story:
Late in the night of September 12, 2008, Hurricane Ike ripped through our island city of Galveston, TX. After a month, people had returned to the city, and the Media Technology Class of Ball High began their project: a documentary, telling the ‘tale of our people’s land’.
‘Hurricane Ike: A Documentary- The Story of a Torn City Rebuilt by Everyday Heroes’, is a student-made film chronicling their community’s struggle and achievement to stand back on their feet, holding strong against Hurricane Ike’s wake. For over seven months, the Hurricane Story Tellers (HSTs) have interviewed citizens who fought for their life during the hurricane, and Houston and Galveston officials (including Galveston mayor Lyda Ann Thomas), who organized the evacuation, recovery, and aftermath.
Thousands are misplaced from their homes, and several schools have been closed, forcing children, who have lived in Galveston their entire lives, to start over in a new, unfamiliar place, without their belongings that rooted them in their every day life. The University of the Medical Branch of Texas, a hospital that cancer and burn victims travel to from all over the country for treatment, was also so severely damaged that its financial foundation was crippled.
The film is a non-profit project; All donations and proceeds from all of our sold DVDs go straight back to Galveston Independent School District’s Educational Foundation.

This feature-length special based on Erik Larson’s book “Isaac’s Storm”, weather experts, historians, and survivors’ descendants guide us through that horrific day that claimed over 6,000 lives.
September 8, 1900, began innocently in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas. Even Isaac Cline, resident meteorologist for the U.S. Weather Bureau failed to grasp the true meaning of the strange deep-sea swells and peculiar winds that greeted the city that morning. Mere hours later, Galveston found itself submerged in a monster hurricane that completely destroyed the town and killed over six thousand people in what remains the greatest natural disaster in American history–and Isaac Cline found himself the victim of a devastating personal tragedy.
In this special presentation, Larson, along with weather experts, historians, and descendants of those lucky enough to have survived the violent storm, guide us through the events of that horrific day. They detail the stories of heartbreaking loss, selfless heroism and the tragic folly of one man’s faith in science that resulted in the most lethal storm in American history.
