Delta Films, Second Line, and Squirrel Gumbo

Once a week we gather at Secret History HQ for the Delta Film Series—a deep dive into the culture, history, and tangled realities of the Louisiana Delta. These films aren’t just movies; they’re waypoints on the journey ahead.

This week, we enjoyed a doc about young musicians finding resilience and rhythm in the streets of New Orleans over a pot of chicken-squirrel gumbo made by yours truly.

Want to follow along? Here’s what we’re watching. Catch up, dig in, and let us know what you think.
