The "What Went Under" reunion was created to reunite and remember those whose houses and lives were destroyed and affected by the purposeful flooding in Sabine Parish, Texas when the Toledo Bend Dam was built.
My Assistant Cameraman, Taylor Dick, and I traveled from Natchitoches, Louisiana to Hemphill, Texas to film this reunion. Upon filming completion, I cut this short reunion video to preserve the memories of those whose lives were forever changed by the creation of the Toledo Bend Dam.
This "No Man's Land" ad was created to highlight the tourism and history found an area in Texas and Louisiana that was originally separated by a dividing line bought by the United States and Spain, respectively, in 1803.
