CAJUNDOME CITY tells the story of the creation of the nation's first mega-shelter. The film shows how the mega-shelter came together and was operated in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, in 2005\. Some 18,500 people, mostly from New Orleans, took shelter in the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana, many of them residing here for nearly two months.
