Before Hurricane Katrina catapulted New Orleans into the media spotlight, one of the most successful arts programs for teenagers in the country thrived in a downtown neighborhood. Young Aspirations/Young Artists (YA/YA, Inc.) regrouped after the levees failed and continues to offer life-changing opportunities and lessons in entrepreneurship to artistically-talented young New Orleanians. This film is the story of how YA/YA, Inc. was founded and shows how, given the right tools and a fertile environment, motivated young people can do extraordinary things.
